Afghanistan are all set to get featured in their third World Cup. The Asian team has seen immense growth in the past few years and gives tough competition to opponents. Afghanistan first appeared in the 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia where they were able to win just one game. After that, they successfully qualified for the 2019 World Cup in England after winning the World Cup qualifiers in 2018. However, they failed to win a single game in that tournament. Now Afghanistan have directly qualified for the upcoming World Cup in India and fans will be hoping to watch their team perform better the previous time.
