This time, the strong teams of the World Cup might not have expected that the smaller teams would upset them. As a result, perhaps these smaller teams were taken lightly by the big teams like Pakistan and England and suffered the consequences. With the victory over Pakistan, Afghanistan has collected 4 points after playing 5 matches. She has come at sixth place in the points table. Before the match with Pakistan, Afghanistan team was in 10th position. Afghanistan has so far faced defeats from India, New Zealand and Bangladesh. He still has to play 4 more matches. If the Afghanistan team wins all these 4 matches with upsets, then it will create history. This victory of Afghanistan over Pakistan is also important because there is a lot of bitterness in the relations between the two countries and the Taliban, who are in power in Afghanistan, keep taking action against the Pakistan Army on the Durand Line i.e. the border.
The condition of Pakistan team has become worse after the defeat against Afghanistan. Pakistan has 4 points in 5 matches. He is at number 5 in the points table. If Pakistan loses one more match, it will have to be out of the World Cup. Pakistan had defeated Netherlands and Sri Lanka in the World Cup, but then the players lost their rhythm. Due to this, Pakistan had to face defeat from India, Australia and now Afghanistan.
