Legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan feels if Afghanistan continues bowling the way they did against Scotland, the team can be a "real threat" in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Afghanistan strolled to a 130-run victory over Scotland in their opening match of Group 2 in T20 World Cup 2021 on Monday.

"I have been amazed by the Afghanistan spinners, they have been the pick of the bowlers so far for me," said Muralitharan in an ICC release. "It is true that they were perhaps playing one of the weaker teams but the way Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan bowled against Scotland was incredible - the batters were mesmerised."
