Afghanistan on Monday inflicted a second upset by humbling Pakistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, marking their second victory in three matches UEFA

After opting to bat at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pakistan put up 282 for 7 in 50 overs UEFA

Afghanistan chased this total down with ease as the side had eight wickets and an over to spare, dealing a blow to Pakistan’s chances of making it to the semi-final of the 2023 World Cup UEFA

Afghanistan also created the biggest upset of the tournament when they beat defending champions England on 15 October in Delhi UEFA

The Central Asian country’s 69-run victory over England also ended their 14-match losing streak, which also included a winless World Cup 2019 campaign UEFA

The 2023 World Cup has so far witnessed one other major upset, that was South Africa’s loss to the Netherlands on 17 October UEFA

The Temba Bavuma-led team, that had scored 428 and 311 in their opening two matches against Sri Lanka and Australia, were bundled out for 207 by Netherlands, that eventually bagged an astonishing 38-run win at HPCA Stadium UEFA

This was Netherlands’ third win in the ODI World Cup, 16 years since their match against Scotland in the West Indies UEFA

Their first victory in the tournament came against Namibia in the World Cup 2023 UEFA

From underdog teams knocking out giants to defending champions facing shocking losses, these moments over the years have defined the coveted tournament’s rich history UEFA

Be it Zimbabwe’s shock win in 1992 or Afghanistan’s victory in 2023, these matches have spotlighted the game’s unpredictability UEFA

The talented West Indian pace department of Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, and Malcolm Marshall spared no one as Kris Srikkanth top scored for India with his knock of 38 runs UEFA

But then, the Indian duo of Mohinder Armanath (3 for 12) and Madan Lal (3 for 31) steamrolled the flashy West Indies batsmen, with Viv Richards managing the top score of 33 for the side UEFA

)Zimbabwe shock England in World Cup 1992Approximately 6,000 spectators were in attendance at Lavington UEFA Sports Ground in Albury, a city that sits on the New South Wales and Victoria border, when Zimbabwe shocked England UEFA

Everything looked in control for the Englishmen when their bowlers, taking advantage of the favourable conditions, restricted the Zimbabweans to 77 for 6 before bowling them out for 134 UEFA

Defending an under-par total of 134 against a dominant side like England never looked on the cards for Zimbabwe UEFA

But when the English skipper Graham Gooch fell lbw to Eddo Brandes on the first delivery of their innings, the opponents thought maybe they still had a chance UEFA

Brandes, the eventual Player of the Match, claimed four wickets for just 21 runs in his spell of 10 overs as the Englishmen were cleaned up in just 19 overs, nine runs short of their target UEFA

Opening bowler of Kenya, Rajab Ali, made an early and important breakthrough as he dismissed West Indies’ key man Brian Lara for just eight runs UEFA

Only Roger Harper and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who took 48 balls to score 19 runs, touched double figures for the West Indies who were all out for just 93, handing Kenya a massive and memorable 73-run victory UEFA
