Afghanistan thrashed Scotland in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 played in Sharjah on Monday.
The high-octane clash between the two sides saw Afghans winning the match by 130 runs as they bundled Scotland for mere 60 runs.
Following it, Muhammad Suhail Shaheen, the Taliban’s official spokesman at their Qatar office congratulated the team for the victory.
“Congratulations to all Afghan cricket team and the entire Afghan nation for the historical win against Scotland. Well done boys! May Allah favour you with future victories. Keep it up! T20-world cup-2021,” Shaheen tweeted.
While Afghanistan punished Scotland bowlers all around the park piling up 190 runs in their 20 overs, it was an emotion Afghan captain before the game that caught everyone’s attention.
When the two teams were there in the middle for the national anthem, the fans noticed tears in Afghanistan skipper Mohammad Nabi’s eyes.
Nabi couldn’t control his emotions after listening to his country’s national anthem and he broke into tears. Notably, Afghanistan is going through a tough phase for the past few months due to the takeover by the Taliban.
