The Top Order Cricket Podcast

Show Notes

Today, we wrapped up the penultimate day in the group stages with some thrilling matches. Afghanistan dominated Canada, winning by 82 runs, while the West Indies continued their unbeaten streak, showcasing their impressive talent.

Afghanistan’s game plan was spot on, with a stellar performance from Ibrahim, who scored 95 not out. Their spin attack was lethal, with Rashid Khan and Mohammed Nabi wreaking havoc on Canada’s batting lineup.

But as we look forward to the Super 8s will Australia manage to bring their flights forward?
