    ODI World Cup: Ahead of their opening match of the Champions Trophy against South Africa on Friday, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi is confident of starting on a winning note in pursuit of their maiden ICC title. Afghanistan enter the tournament after securing four consecutive ODI series victories against Ireland, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Zimbabwe.

    Afghanistan were consistent in their last two ICC tournaments. In the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, Afghanistan made a stunning impact, defeating three former champions - England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Additionally, they reached the semifinals of the T20 World Cup last year, held in the United States and the West Indies. "We are not here just to participate in this tournament. We are definitely 100 percent looking to win this event," Shahidi told reporters ahead of their match against South Africa on Friday.

    "We played a lot of quality cricket in the last two years and it's a good chance for us because the boys are very experienced and these conditions are also suitable for us so we have a good chance and let's start it from tomorrow and hopefully we start with the win and we go with the same momentum throughout the tournament.
