'Come on, Big Three, invite Afghanistan to tour your countries'

Afghanistan's one-wicket win over Scotland, while striking another blow for the Associates, would count among one of the more heartwarming stories of this World Cup. Relief and vicarious elation were, understandably, the dominant emotions on Twitter.

Congrats to #Afghanistan for their win over #Scotland in the Cricket World Cup #CWC15 #AFGvsSCO

That was fun. I think that's what it's meant to be. #AFGvSCO #CWC2015

They will be dancing in the streets of Kabul all day and all night. Come on, Big Three of the ICC: invite Afghanistan to tour your countries

I feel for Scotland but that was another most compelling cricket match. Associates nations are providing so many highlights @ this CWC2015.

I don't care how long the tournament is, if it means more results and matches like that, play on Associates, play on...

Stallone should definitely approach Shapoor Zadran and Hamid Hassan for the next Expendables! The Rocky n Rambo duo fit the bill #AFGvSCO

Three journos and an ICC official in the Sydney press box reduced to behaving like 12-year-old fans. Felt brilliant. #CWC15 #AFGvSCO

For places like Afghanistan, even if its short-lived, moments like this erase the pain and bring hope. Thank you #BlueTigers #AfghanCricket
