Afghanistan—who were at the bottom of the table after completion of first round—won four matches in a row to make it to the ICC World Cup 2018 which would be held in England.
Later in the final, they defeated pre-favourite of the tournament West Indies to win the final of the qualification tournament.
It is worth here to mention that Pakistan had won ICC World Cup in 1992 under the dynamic leadership of Imran Khan.
