Afghanistan gave a perfect farewell present to Asghar Afghan with a thumping 62-run victory against Namibia at the T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
The former captain had already made it clear that this will be his final game despite Afghanistan having 2 more matches left in the Group stage. Asghar made 31 off 23 balls in his final international appearance, lifting Afghanistan to 160-5 after captain Mohammad Nabi won the toss and chose to bat. Namibia batting fell flat as they could only manage 98/9 in reply. Hamid Hassan, playing his first T20 international in five years, picked up 3 for 9.
Afghanistan, with two tough games to come against New Zealand and India, now have four points from three games.
