“We showed him to be incorrect.” Regarding Brian Lara’s forecast regarding Afghanistan, Rashid Khan

For those who don’t know, Lara stated before the competition that Afghanistan would make it to the last four teams.

Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals, where they will play South Africa, with an exciting eight-run triumph against Bangladesh in the rain-soaked match in Kingstown.

“Being in the semi-finals is a dream for us.” We had faith in ourselves after our victory over New Zealand early in the competition. In the interview conducted after the game, Rashid Khan declared, “It’s unbelievable.”

Brian Lara was the sole person who predicted that we would make it to the semifinals, and we proved him wrong. At the welcoming reception when we first met, I assured him that we wouldn’t disappoint.

Back home, there is a big party. For us as well, it’s a major victory. At the U-19 level, we have accomplished that, but I am at a loss for words when it comes to the sentiment back home during this World Cup. We need to make sure we enjoy the occasion and approach the semifinals with a very clear head.

Despite managing 115-5 in the allotted 20 overs, Afghanistan was, the leg-spinner acknowledged, 15 runs short at bat. But bowlers, he said, had a well defined strategy that they adhered to and won.

Although we scored 130–135 runs, we were short by 15 runs. We were prepared for their fierce reaction and knew that this would be an opportunity for us. Just be explicit in our plans was all that was required of us, Khan added.

Another significant step in the development of Islamabad’s infrastructure has been taken with the opening of the Serena Interchange underpass.

After visiting the underpass and expressing satisfaction with its development, Muhammad Ali Randhawa, Chairman of the Capital Development Authority (CDA), pledged that the project will address the area’s persistent traffic problems.

A significant accomplishment, the underpass’s completion will facilitate and enhance traffic flow and connection throughout the capital.

Mohsin Naqvi, the federal minister of interior, had previously stated that the Serena Chowk Interchange project will be completed in three months as opposed to 10. The CDA was tasked by him to complete the project ahead of schedule.

Along with the Serena Interchange underpass, two more underpasses on the Srinagar Highway have also been finished, and one on Suhrawardy Road is currently accessible to traffic.

The CDA is striving to fulfill the project’s deadlines in order to guarantee that two further underpasses near the Islamabad Club will be finished by January 20, 2025.

On November 5, 2024, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif placed the Rs. 8 billion foundation stone for the two major interchanges. The CDA has also chosen to build an underpass on Murree Road in order to facilitate motoring for cars traveling from Murree to Srinagar Highway, thus further easing traffic congestion.

In order to reach the Srinagar Highway, cars from Murree currently have to travel all the way to the Dhokri roundabout, which causes a severe traffic jam at the intersection. It is hoped that the underpass on Murree Road would resolve this problem.
