CHENNAI: Afghanistan opener Ibrahim's Zadran's unbeaten 56-ball 95 and Mohammed Nabi (4/7) helped Afghanistan to a 82-run victory over Canada in Group D of the T20 World Cup at the MA Chidambaram stadium on Thursday. Having been ousted from the World Cup, Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan had said before the game that his team will play with all seriousness and sign off with a win. Zadran's knock helped ensure that his nation ended their World Cup campaign with a win saw the Rashid Khan led Afghanistan end their campaign with a win in the T20 World Cup. Today was my day - I just wanted to back my skills and believe in myself. There's always pressure and expectation, but I enjoy putting myself in those situations and embracing the challenge.
