Netherlands vs Afghanistan, 3rd Place Play-off at Rotterdam, Jul 10 2010 - Match Result
Afghanistan won by 5 wickets (with 24 balls remaining)
Asghar Afghan and Shahzad's 93-run partnership is AFG's highest for the 4th wicket in ODIs, breaking the record of 82 between Nawroz Mangal and Asghar Afghan
And so it was the middle order of Afghanistan that won the match for them. Shahzad showed a lot of maturity when Asghar was attacking and it was real pity that they were not the batsmen at end. It was in the end a reflection of position for both the teams
