Fans on Twitter reacted after the Afghanistan cricket team made a schoolboy error against Sri Lanka to get eliminated from the Asia Cup 2023. They reacted hilariously and mocked them for not being aware of the calculations and said that they should’ve borrowed calculators from RCB fans

Afghanistan made a schoolboy error as they weren’t aware that the target could be chased against Sri Lanka 

The game between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka went down the wire and it’s fair to say that it was the best game of the tournament. Both the teams stood tall and handled the pressure situations well but it was Sri Lanka in the end who bagged the game by 2 runs.

A decent batting effort from Sri Lanka saw them posting 291 runs on the board. Kusal Mendis was the star performer for his team as he slammed 92 runs whereas vital contributions from Pathum Nissanka (41), Dimuth Karunaratne (32), Charith Asalanka (36), Maheesh Theekshana (28) and Dunith Wellalage (33) powered their side to a decent total. 

To make it into the Super Four stage, Afghanistan needed to chase the target in 37.1 overs. They had a poor start as they lost four quick wickets. But captain Hashmatullah Shahidi (59) and Mohammad Nabi (65) smashed rollicking half-centuries to bring their side back in the game but they lost wickets at crucial junctures.

Rashid Khan played a brilliant cameo to take his team close to the target. But they didn’t reach the target in 37.1 overs. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led even after playing 37.1 overs had a chance to qualify as they needed to hit 6 runs in the next three balls but they weren’t aware.
