Mujeeb Ur Rahman, a member of the national cricket team, presented the stunning triumph of Afghanistan over the England national cricket team to those affected by the recent earthquake in the western part of the country.
He stated, "As a player and as a team, I want to dedicate this win to them."
Mujeeb was one of the pivotal players in the game against England. With three wickets and 28 runs, he contributed significantly to Afghanistan's historic win against a strong team with a history of several victories.
Early on Monday, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake once again shook western Afghanistan. This third powerful earthquake in a week has claimed at least a thousand lives so far.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman said, "Defeating a champion team in the Cricket World Cup is a proud moment for our team and nation. The bowlers and batsmen displayed an extraordinary performance."
Afghanistan last won in the Cricket World Cup against Scotland in 2015 and has lost in 14 matches in this tournament since then. In this tournament, they have also lost to Bangladesh and India by 6 and 8 wickets, respectively.
Joss Butler, the captain of the British team, commented on the match, saying, "Truly, enduring this defeat is tough. I congratulate Afghanistan for this victory, as their players were superior."
He praised Afghanistan's attacks and bowling performance.
