Do not disrespect Afghanistan by calling this an upset. Afg are good enough to beat any team on their day. They played to their potential today and defeated a very good Aus team. A fact that should be celebrated. Congratulations and well played @ACBofficials #AUSvAFG pic.twitter.com/e3Ydxap3kC

This is another historic victory for the Afghanistan side. They have read the conditions better, but more importantly executed well!! Australia's fielding again has been questionable, 6 opportunities missed whereas on the flip side have taken some rippers!!! #AUSvsAFG
