England Vs Afghanistan  

Manchester: Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib faced some uncomfortable questions over an alleged altercation between his teammates and a member of the public at a Manchester restaurant on Monday (June 17). After the ICC World Cup 2019 game against England, which Afghanistan lost by 150 runs, Naib was asked about the incident and he threatened to walk out of the press conference, on Tuesday (June 18). The match saw England captain Eoin Morgan smashing a world record 17 sixes en roue to 71-ball 148.

“No, no, I didn't know anything about them. So it's not a big issue for the team for me. So even I didn't know anything about them, so we have like manager and also we have a security officer. So you can ask — you can ask with them. So we didn't know about anything,' said Gulbadin Naib after Afghanistan's loss to England at the ICC World Cup 2019

Manchester: After setting a world record with 17 sixes in an innings, England captain Eoin Morgan spoke to the media. The left-hander blasted an incredible 71-ball 148 to power his side to a 150-run victory over Afghanistan at the ICC World Cup 2019 on Tuesday (June 18) in Manchester. Morgan spoke about his record knock and admitted that he surprised himself. Also, he talked about the onslaught on leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who bagged the worst bowling figures in World Cup history (0/110 in nine overs). Morgan hit Rashid for seven sixes.

Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar had picked Rashid Khan among the three players to watch out for at the World Cup 2019. Tendulkar said he was looking forward to see Rashid, Jofra Archer of England and Australia’s David Warner

Eoin Morgan brought up his century off 57 balls, although that was 11 slower than Jos Buttler’s England record of 46 deliveries against Pakistan in 2015 – meaning the skipper doesn’t have complete ownership of bragging rights
