Twitter reacts as England wins by a massive margin of 150 runs against Afghanistan
A ruthless performance by England with Morgan registering a record for hitting most sixes by a batsman in an ODI. Also, Rashid Khan endured the worst-ever figures by a bowler in a World Cup, which summed up Afghanistan's situation. The Twitterati lost their cool and reacted on the same.
Brief Score: England 397-6 in 50 overs (Eoin Morgan 148, Jonny Bairstow 90; Gulbadin Naib 68/3, Dawlat Zadran 85/3) beat Afghanistan 247-8 in 50 overs (Hashmatullah Shahidi 76, Rahmat Shah 46; Jofra Archer 52/3, Adil Rashid 66/3) by 150 runs.
Hitting 17 sixes is just ridiculous!

Painful day for Rashid Khan!
What on earth is the pitch made of? There should be a balanced competition between the bat and the ball. You feel sad when the balance is disturbed. #RASHIDKHAN’s bowling stats in the match is a shocker! #ENGvAFG #CWC19

Little joys of life!
Afghanistan may have had a near impossible chase but remember, they also needed to convince themselves that they can keep a good bowling side in the field for 50 overs. #WorkInProgress

Full marks for efforts!
Afghanistan should hold their heads up high. Clearly outclassed but playing with heart and commitment. Outstanding. #bbccricket #ENGvAFG

Tough day for Rashid Khan!
First time seeing @rashidkhan_19 so agitated on the field. Has been a tough day for him, to be fair. He looks like he just wants to vent his frustrations out on the cricket ball by whacking it as hard & far as possible.#ENGvAFG #CWC19 #AfghanAtalan #WeAreEngland
