Nepal’s performance against South Africa inspired us: Rashid Khan



KATHMANDU: Afghanistan cricket team captain Rashid Khan praised Nepal’s outstanding performance in the ICC T20 World Cup.

In a press conference following the match against Bangladesh, Rashid Khan remarked that Nepal had delivered commendable performances throughout the tournament.

He stated, “Nepal, a relatively new team in cricket, played exceptionally well in the World Cup. They strongly fought against all the teams in their group.”

Rashid further noted that Nepal’s ability to challenge a strong team like South Africa provided inspiration and encouragement to his own team.

“Seeing a team defend a small target teaches us a lot. Nepal’s performance in the tournament was remarkable. This is T20 cricket, and in this format, having the confidence that we can defeat any team is crucial,” he said.
