Brilliant knock by this young kid!!

Afghanistan's Ikram Alikhil @ 18 years 278 days - is now the youngest to register an 80+ score in #CWC history!

Bettered the previous record of Sachin Tendulkar (81 v Zim at Hamilton 1992) then aged 18y-318d#CWC19 #CWC2019 #AfgvWI #WIvAfg

Gotta feel sad for West Indies!!

West Indies have played some of the most brilliant cricket in this World Cup, but have also a whole lot of rubbish!

Great performance by the youngster!!

Afghanistan's Ikram Alikhil @ 18 years 278 days - third youngest to register a #CWC fifty.

Only Bangladeshis Tamim Iqbal 17y-362d and Mohd Ashraful 18y-170 were younger!#CWC19 #CWC2019 #AfgvWI #WIvAfg

Impressive knock from Ikram Aki Khil!!

At the age of 18 years and 278 days, Ikram Alikhil is the youngest wicket-keeper to score a fifty in ODI cricket.

Prev: Mushfiqur Rahim (19y 246d) v ZIM in 2007. #AFGvWI #CWC19

Young and talented Ikram Ali Khil!!

Always loved watching Rahmat Shah. Touch of class about him. But how good has young Ikram Ali Khil been! Got a chance to bat at no 3 and said thank you I'll take it!
