Twitterati troll Pakistan and Sri Lanka after Afghanistan become first Asian team to cross 200-run mark
Just like their Asian counterparts, Afghanistan's top order failed to deliver as the Aussie pace attack was too hot to handle. But unlike Pakistan and Sri Lanka, their middle order and tail ensured they reached a respectable total. Twitterati praised Afghanistan and trolled Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
This tweet cracked me up! xD
Isn't it strange just when smith and warner returns starc starts to swing the ball again

Afghanistan have achieved something which Sri Lanka or Pakistan couldn't!
That's the second highest score of this world cup after England. Well done Afganistan. #AUSvAFG

Learn from Afghanistan!
This innings by Afghanistan is a good tutorial for Pakistan and Sri Lanka & for every team that how to push and hang in for your nation rather than throwing it away in the World Cup. @cricketworldcup @StarSportsIndia #AUSvAFG

Less experienced but what a revival!
Unlike Pakistan and Sri Lanka, Afghanistan haven't succumbed under pressure after early wickets. Remember, they are less experienced and technically much inferior than the other two Asian counterparts. It's all about the mindset and fighting spirits of AFG. #AUSvAFG #AFGvAUS
