SHARJAH: Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq said the massive 130-run victory over Scotland won't make his team "complacent" as they aware of the bigger challenges like India and New Zealand that await the side in its coming T20 World Cup games.
Haq was the only other bowler to take a wicket with Mujeeb Ur Rahman (5-20) and Rashid Khan (4-9) leading the rout to dismiss Scotland for 60.
Their dominance with the ball came after a clinical batting performance which saw Afghanistan make 190 for four.
"We needed that win to start our tournament, so we won't be complacent about this win, we move forward. We will enjoy the victory. It was a great game, but looking forward into the tournament, we have still four games (left to play in our group)," Naveen said after team's win on Tuesday.
Haq said that Afghanistan players prepared well for the tournament and it showed in their effort.
"It was a good one. Our players were ready for it. We were well prepared. Lots of our players were playing and participating in different leagues, so all the boys were ready for this tournament and this match," Naveen said.
Afghanistan next face Pakistan on October 29.
