From pushovers to giant slayers: Afghanistan humble mighty Aussies

From being in a total commanding position to defend 291, having reduced the Aussies to 91/7, Afghanistan were shell-shocked at how on earth this could have happened. The nightmares of the 2023 ODI World Cup loomed large in their minds. Gulbadin, in his third over, bowled one fuller to Maxwell. Noor Ahmad was at the backward point. This was not only a catch but the match flying in the air. One drop cost them dearly in that World Cup game in 2023.
