There are quite a few cricket teams that have risen as quickly as Afghanistan. They can challenge any team on any day.
Take, for instance, their 2024 T20 World Cup win against Australia or the 2026 T20 World Cup double super over game against South Africa.
Such games have improved their head-to-head record against the top sides in the format.
