    Decoding Team Afghanistan's stats in Asia Cup

    What's the story

    The 2023 edition of the Asia Cup, which will be played in the ODI format, gets underway on August 30.

    The tournament will be staged in a hybrid model with four games in Pakistan and nine in Sri Lanka.

    Though Afghanistan are not among the favorites to taste the glory, they cannot be written off.

    Here we decode Team Afghanistan's stats at Asia Cup.

    Stats 

    Their numbers in Asia Cup (ODIs)

    Afghanistan made their Asia Cup debut in 2014.

    They hence have featured in just two past ODI editions of the continental tournament.

    While they managed just one win in four outings in 2014, they won two of their five matches in 2018.

    Their game against India in the 2018 edition resulted in a thrilling tie.

    That remains the only tied game in Asia Cup.

    Asghar Afghan (277) and Hashmatullah Shahidi (263) are the other Afghanistan batters with 200-plus runs in this regard.

    Rashid Khan's tally of 10 wickets in five games is the most for an Afghanistan bowler at the event.

    Mohammad Nabi (9) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (7) trail him.

    One of Afghanistan's victories last year came against eventual champions Sri Lanka.
