Eoin Morgan surpasses MS Dhoni and Asghar Afghan as captain with most T20I wins

SHARJAH: England skipper Eoin Morgan on Monday surpassed India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Afghanistan's Asghar Afghan in registering the most number of wins by a captain in men's T20 internationals during his side's win against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup here.

England beat Sri Lanka by 26 runs to virtually seal a semifinal spot.

Morgan now has 43 wins from 68 T20I matches he led England in, while Dhoni -- who retired last year -- had won 42 matches out of the 72 he played as India skipper.

Afghan, who retired from all formats on Sunday after the match against Namibia in the ongoing T20 World Cup, had captained Afghanistan to 42 wins out of 52 games.
