PHOTOS: Giant-slayers Afghanistan stun Pakistan in Chennai

Afghanistan’s top order fired to record a memorable eight-wicket victory against Pakistan in the ICC World Cup in Chennai on Monday.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam and opener Abdullah Shafique smashed half-centuries and the team plundered 91 runs from the final 10 overs to post 282-7 on a turning track at the M A Chidambaram Stadium.

In the chase, Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran (87) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (65) combined in a breakneck opening stand of 130 to give their side the perfect start.
