England
teams hopeless World Cup finished with an agreeable nine-wicket win over
Afghanistan in a downpour damaged Pool A conflict at the Sydney Cricket Ground
on Friday. Pursuing a changed focus of 101 to win in 25 overs under the
Duckworth/Lewis technique taking after three downpour delays, England completed
on 101 for one in 18.1 overs.Ian Bell
was 52 not out, off 56 balls, in the wake of putting on 83 for the first wicket
with Alex Hales, who made 37 in the wake of being dropped on nothing and 12. Afghanistan,
in the wake of losing the throw, prior made 111 for seven in 36.2 overs before
their innings was ruled to be shut on account of downpour. Both sides came into
this initial one-day universal in the middle of England and Afghanistan not
able to meet all requirements for the quarter-finals and having only one past
Pool A win each after they every beat Scotland.
This was
the first release of the World Cup in the competition's 40-year history where
England had fizzled both to beat a Test country and overcome to the second
round. In 1996, England vanquished two non-Test sides in the UAE and the
Netherlands before losing to Sri Lanka in the quarter-finals. Trusts they may
complete with a win over World Cup debutants Afghanistan, after their
last-eight desire disintegrated in Monday's 15-run crush by Bangladesh in
Adelaide, were high as the non-Test side given way in the wake of losing the
throw. No Afghanistan batsman made more than the reviewed Shafiqullah Shafiq's
30.
Initially
change Chris Jordan drove England's assault with two for 13 in 6.2 overs while
all-rounder Ravi Bopara, playing his first match of the competition after damage
to Chris Woakes, took two for 31 in eight overs. "It's vital to understand
we haven't clicked this competition. It has been testing, I have learnt a great
deal about myself and about the players," said England captain Eoin
Morgan. Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi said his group will continue
learning. "We have taken in a great deal - we have played against full
individuals and perceived how they play, by what means would they be able to
construct weight," he said. After Morgan won the throw, Afghanistan
discovered runs difficult to find in cloudy conditions.
Openers
Nawroz Mangal (four) and Javed Ahmadi (seven) both fell inexpensively to slip
gets by Joe Root off the bowling of James Anderson and Stuart Broad
individually. Not long after a beginning precipitation delay, Afsar Zazai was
gotten behind off Jordan for six. His way out acquired Samiullah Shenwari, who
had already made a few fifties at this competition with a best of 96 in
Afghanistan's one-wicket win over Scotland? Be that as it may, Shenwari could
just deal with seven preceding his thick edge off Jordan was found by Morgan,
plunging forward at retrogressive point. The fifth-wicket twosome of Nasir
Jamal (17) and Shafiq - the initial two batsmen in the innings to make twofold
figure scorers - took Afghanistan to 62 for four of 25 overs before downpour
halted play once more.
A short
time later, Nabi lobbed off-spinner James Tredwell - like Bopara making his
competition introduction, taking after damage to Moeen Ali, for six. In any
case his close run-a-ball 16 finished when he pulled Bopara straight to
Tredwell at mid-on. With England yet to score, Hales ought to have been out for
a third-ball duck when he edged Shapoor Zadran, just for Najibullah Zadran at
regressive point to drop the chance in spite of making history both hands to
the ball. Hales, on 12, then gave a close indistinguishable risk off left-arm
fast Shapoor just for Najibullah to again drop the two-gave get similarly
situated. After that second respite, the main inquiry was whether England would
appreciate a 10-wicket win. That didn't happen, with Hales at long last got
behind off paceman Hamid Hassan, having confronted 33 balls including three
fours and two sixes.
