16:15Â IST: The last encounter between the two teams was a one sided affair as Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh comfortably by 136 runs.Â
16:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live updates of the Super Four encounter between Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
For Afghanistan, it has been an extraordinary run for them. First, they beat a depleted Sri Lankan side by 91 runs in the group stages, then defeated Bangladesh by a massive 136-run margin. Afghanistan have been a revelation in this tournament as both their batting and bowling department has been on-point, with little glitches that can be improved. However, their inexperience of playing a high-voltage game was brought to light when they lost their first Super Four match to Pakistan by a whisker. With Pakistan needing 10 runs off the last over, the inexperienced bowling attack failed to hold on to their nerves, thus gifting away the match to Pakistan.
