Dunedin: Samiullah Shenwari insisted he’d simply “done my job” after his superb 96 set-up Afghanistan’s first-ever World Cup win with a thrilling one-wicket victory over Scotland in Dunedin on Thursday.
Afghanistan collapsed to 97 for seven in pursuit of a modest target of 211 and were all but out of this Pool A clash at University Oval.
Shenwari turned this contest on its head with a 147-ball innings featuring seven fours and five sixes.
“It was difficult because we lost early wickets but I did my job,” said man-of-the-match Shenwari. (PTI)
