In the fifth episode of The Offspin, we're joined by Basir Safi and Ismail Wardak, two Kiwi-Afghan cricket lovers who talk about learning the game in refugee camps, the incredible story of Afghanistan's ascent and the high expectations the world now holds for them. 

Another day, another win at the Cricket World Cup for the Black Caps. So why doesn't this one feel quite so good? Is it because maybe, deep down we all want to see Afghanistan succeed?
