The Afghanistan cricket team secured its first-ever victory against Australia, in any format of the game, beating the former champions by 21 runs in the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2024. Generally considered as a side with world-class spinners, it was the pace bowling unit that led Afghanistan to victory this time, with Gulbadin Naib claiming 4 wickets, producing the Player of the Match show. While Afghanistan kept their semi-final hopes alive with the win, the result also gave their Super 8 Group a big twist.
For Bangladesh, it is an unrealistic picture as they haven't won a single game in the Super 8s. The Bangla Tigers have their Net Run Rate at -2.489. They don't just need to beat Afghanistan by a huge margin in the next game but also hope that India too beat Australia by quite a big margin. A practically, impossible situation, hence.
