&ldquo;I think it just shows the amount of talent in the side for the country again, as when we were fortunate enough to beat England,&rdquo; Trott said at the post-match press conference on Monday.

Afghanistan had come close to beating Pakistan a few times recently, but never managed to cross the line. &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t take a lot to see the passion and the rivalry between them. I&rsquo;m just glad today we were in the game again, and we managed to get across the line.
