Aakash Chopra: Not playing Noor Ahmad cost Afghanistan dearly

Aakash Chopra points out that Afghanistan's decision to bench Noor Ahmad in their T20 World Cup 2026 clash against New Zealand might have cost them dearly. They set a decent target of 183 runs, but their bowling was about as effective as a wet noodle. New Zealand chased it down with ease, and if Afghanistan loses their next match against South Africa, they could be heading home early.
