Afghanistan's first-ever ODI victory against Pakistan — achieved at the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, in front of a roaring Chepauk crowd.
Afghanistan had faced Pakistan eight times in ODI cricket before this 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup match — losing every single time. Having already beaten defending champions England earlier in the tournament, Afghanistan arrived in Chennai with something to prove. The cricket world was not prepared for what would follow.
Babar Azam anchored Pakistan's innings with 74 and Abdullah Shafique contributed 58. Afghanistan's bowling was relentless. Teenage spinner Noor Ahmad took 3/49 on his ICC Men's Cricket World Cup debut — repeatedly troubling Pakistan's experienced middle order with sharp turn and pace variation.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz blazed 65 and Ibrahim Zadran stroked a masterful 87 as they put on a 130-run opening partnership. Rahmat Shah followed with an unbeaten 77 and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi sealed it with 48*. Afghanistan chased 283 with 8 wickets and 6 balls to spare — their first-ever ODI victory over Pakistan.
MA Chidambaram Stadium erupted. Rashid Khan danced. Ibrahim Zadran's speech moved millions. Cricketers who had grown up during war and played on rubble pitches had just beaten one of cricket's great nations on the world's biggest stage. The match ball, toss coin, and scorecard from this moment are now offered to the right collector — each ICC certified, Limited Edition 1 of 1.
Two moments from this match — Rashid Khan's viral dance and Ibrahim Zadran's refugee dedication speech — echoed far beyond the boundary rope.
Before the match, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan had publicly promised Rashid Khan he would dance live on television if Afghanistan beat Pakistan. On 23 October 2023, as Afghanistan sealed their historic 8-wicket victory, Rashid held him to his word. On the Chepauk outfield, during the lap of honour, Rashid Khan and Irfan Pathan danced together on live cricket broadcast. The video exploded across social media worldwide within minutes.
"I danced all the way from the ground to the hotel and could not stop until very late. My teammates had never seen me in that kind of mood." — Rashid Khan, Afghanistan & ICC World Cup 2023
Man of the Match Ibrahim Zadran — just 21 years old — stepped to the podium in Chennai and used cricket's biggest stage to speak for the dispossessed. At the time of the match, Pakistan was deporting 1.7 million Afghan refugees, with over 51,000 already expelled. Zadran's English-language statement, broadcast globally, brought immediate international attention to the humanitarian crisis and moved fans across the cricket world to tears.
"I want to dedicate this Player of the Match award to the people who were sent back from Pakistan to back home Afghanistan." — Ibrahim Zadran, Man of the Match · ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023
Watch Afghanistan's players speak — moments after making cricket history at the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in Chennai.
The 21-year-old Man of the Match dedicated his award to Afghan refugees being deported from Pakistan — one of the most powerful speeches in Cricket World Cup history.
Rashid kept his promise — dancing with Irfan Pathan on live TV after Afghanistan's win. He later said he danced from the ground all the way to the hotel and couldn't stop.
