Cricket: Afghanistan have defeated Sri Lanka by seven wickets in Pune to record their third win of the Cricket World Cup and boost their hopes of a semifinal place.
Australian opener David Warner has relished making his doubters “look stupid” throughout the ongoing World Cup, hitting back at his critics after another stellar performance in India.
No Australian has scored more World Cup hundreds than Warner, while the legendary Ricky Ponting is the only Australian with more runs in the marquee tournament. However, when asked whether he drew inspiration from the relentless criticism, Warner responded: “Nup. I just make everyone look stupid.”“At the end of the day, I’m doing as well as I can, I’m just trying to go out there and start as well as I can upfront.
The Australians have an opportunity to officially knock England out of the World Cup this weekend, but Warner is wary of the threat Jos Buttler’s men pose.“They’ve got some very, very quality players and we have to respect it. They bat to 11 and their bowling unit is very good.”
