Batting first the Afghan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz fired at the start of the innings. They scored 100 runs in 12.4 overs. But as their middle order crumbled they could only post a total of 284.

 Finally, we achieve our first World Cup win after a long wait: Wazhma Ayoubi

Wazhma Ayoubi said, "Afghanistan defeats the current world champions by 69 runs. Congratulations to all of Afghanistan. Finally, we achieve our first World Cup win after a long wait. Well done #AfghanAtalan @ACBofficials. And a big thank you to all our Indian brothers and sisters cheering for Afghanistan today, Dhanyavaad."

 Mujeeb ur Rahman after the win stated, "It is a very proud moment to be here in the World Cup and beating the champions. It’s a great achievement for the whole team, we worked hard for this day. We beat such a big team. It was a wonderful performance from the bowlers and the batters. As a spinner, it’s pretty hard to bowl in the powerplay, you have only two fielders outside. That’s something I’ve been working in the nets."
