Afghanistan (115/5) defeat Bangladesh (105) by 8 runs (DLS) in a nail-biting contest to qualify for the Semi-Final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[jnaveen1980]

Nepal reduced Bangladesh to 88/9 on this wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is Afghanistan under pressure today? They are being very cautious. Not taking any risks.

They are doing the right thing. They have power hitting skills. They should stay as long as possible.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

AFG - 36/0 (7 overs).

Wicket is not that bad . Afghanistan is playing so slowly

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wicket is not that bad . Afghanistan is playing so slowly

No there is plenty of movement, bounce. This is conscious approach astheir entire batting revolves around these 2

 

[JattMaula]

Exceptional running by afgans.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just stay long enough. Bangladesh will give freebies

 

[Devadwal]

5 bounus runs

 

[sweep_shot]

5 WIDES.

Stupid bowling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now they have to bowl spinners.

 

[JattMaula]

Tanzim is a questionable human but a very very good bowler.

 

[rhony]

I think afghans realized this is a 140 pitch.

 

[cricketcricket79]

So much fun to see this wannabe Dale Steyn spray the ball around for 5 wides. He irritates me no end after his antics against Nepal for no reasons.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fitness level is amazing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think afghans realized this is a 140 pitch.

They are smarter than Lankans who despite resources played stupidly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine Rashid khan here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thank you guys with your extras lol

 

[rhony]

I don't mind fiery attitude if one can back it up with aggressive bowling. This kid is a genuine talent and he has the sledge pass.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This bowler is rubbish bowler. This pitch is allowing him to get away. On a good batting pitch this rishasd will get hammered

 

[Devadwal]

Time to play some shots now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Time to play some shots now.

Both are power hitters. THey can crank it up anytime. Others are not that good.

 

[rhony]

This bowler is rubbish bowler. This pitch is allowing him to get away. On a good batting pitch this rishasd will get hammered

He's got height that can gwnerate bounce. Needs to pick and consistent line. He's all 9ver the place

Let’s see. Time will tell. I don’t see much in his bowling. His bouncers are going over to the boundary. Not one has landed on target. I am more excited about the leg spinner than this guy.

 

[sweep_shot]

AFG - 54/0 (9 overs).

 

[followed]

Bangladesh has to knock Afghanistan out here. They can't progress to the semis.

Afghanistan will play with no intent against a certain team if they get there.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh bowled poor short of a length deliveries. They sure curtailed them. But they did not give themselves any chance to take wickets.

 

[Croma]

Just logged in to see AFG batting at a run a ball.



DOnt they want to win?

 

[followed]

Lol Ibrahim zadran and gurbaz are batting like Zimbabar and actor rizwan.

 

[Croma]

44 runs off the bat, 13 extras?

 

[pillionrider]

Tanzim is a questionable human but a very very good bowler.

First time watching him ever this WC. Seems a pretty good bowler. Just feels like his head (in particular) is not big enough to handle all that rage he feels against the world

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just logged in to see AFG batting at a run a ball.

ON this wicket they can even defend 100 runs.

 

[sweep_shot]

AFG - 58/0 (10 overs).

Drinks break.

 

[Croma]

WHy is that Bangla depressed fan blocking the more prettier fan?

 

[followed]

Lol Ibrahim's strike rate is 68 hahaha.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jonathan trott always has a chart for where they should be after each over.

 

[Croma]

ON this wicket they can even defend 100 runs.

hmm ok , They better defend well,

 

[rhony]

Afghans are probably 10 runs short and BD gave away 10 runs extra with those byes and wides. Neither team will be happy. 50-50

 

[jnaveen1980]

hmm ok , They better defend well,

If this Rishad can turn that much imagine 24 balls from Rashid khan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Naveen is Bumrah clone. He will move the ball around as well.

 

[pillionrider]

The epitome of stoicity

 

[rhony]

Let’s see. Time will tell. I don’t see much in his bowling. His bouncers are going over to the boundary. Not one has landed on target. I am more excited about the leg spinner than this guy.

He's got the right attitude and skills. Spinner is good too but inconsistent

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghans are probably 10 runs short and BD gave away 10 runs extra with those byes and wides. Neither team will be happy. 50-50

Agree.

8 wides were gifted away for free.

 

[cricketcricket79]

If this Rishad can turn that much imagine 24 balls from Rashid khan.

Not a fair comparison. Not many can compare to Rashid to be fair. Rishad has done well on his own. He is rough around the edges but has the right temperament. He has taken 11 wickets in the very first World Cup.

 

[Croma]

Ibrahim is uselss.

 

[Devadwal]

I don't think Afghanistan can post a winning total.

To easy for Bangladesh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh k Ibrahim is hte one gone. Gurbaz is still there. He is their star player.

 

[rhony]

Timely wicket right when Afghans wanted to unleash

 

[Croma]

18(29)

What a pathetic innings in such an important game.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone this is what happened when you are playing less than 70 strike rate.

Very poor from Afghanistan

 

[sweep_shot]

Rishad gets Ibrahim.

59/1.

 

[AAli98]

Not happening afghans buckle first sign of pressure.. travis head waiting to take 3rd icc title in 12 months of india on Saturday

They are not getting past Non-Choking SA this time.

Told you afghans crumble under pressure reaching an icc semi is too much for them

 

[rhony]

Lovely bowling. Very tough pitch this. Seam, spin it's ripping every which way

 

[Croma]

Not out... carry on

 

[deltexas]

Thing afg is too cautious here. Ban can restrict afg and try chasing in 13 overs.. Afg needs atleast 145 plus here

 

[JaDed]

Afghans will lose this due to stupidity lol, BD should try chasing at 12.2

 

[sweep_shot]

AFG - 59/1 (11 overs).

1 off the over and a wicket.

 

[Croma]

Whatever the pitch condition. This is pathetic batting.

Bangladesh will bat better for sure. ATleast they will try

 

[jnaveen1980]

Told you afghans crumble under pressure reaching an icc semi is too much for them

Match is not even over yet lol They have 9 wickets in hand.

 

[hamzie]

C'mon Bangla bros
Help Aus qualify

You are now a marked man sir.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Whatever the pitch condition. This is pathetic batting.

Bangladesh will bat better for sure. ATleast they will try

Like they did against Nepal?

 

[AAli98]

Bang have actually come out to bowl Afgh out for 90 & chase it & get into semis

 

[Croma]

Gurbaz. 3 dots. WHat are you doing? Forgotten how to bat? lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are using up seamers.

 

[Croma]

4 dots. amazing bowling

 

[pillionrider]

Wow this Taskin, seeing him after a long while. He looks so terribly unfit.

 

[JaDed]

Eesh what pitch lol

 

[followed]

Hahaha lol Indians are getting nervous.
Afghanistan making them nervous.

 

[rhony]

Game turning phase last two overs.

 

[Croma]

Maiden over

 

[cricketcricket79]

Gurbaz as is batting like a complete hack.

 

[followed]

Just continue with leg spinner.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hahaha lol Indians are getting nervous.

Not really they are winning this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maiden from Taskin.

AFG - 59/1 (12 overs).

 

[batandballbattle]

afghans choking, silly decision to bat first

 

[Croma]

Omarzai is smart, took single.

They might win this on this pitch but they are making your people nervous hahahah

 

[jnaveen1980]

afghans choking, silly decision to bat first

While chasing they will be worse.

 

[followed]

They need to keep them under 110.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They might win this on this pitch but they are making your people nervous hahahah

Why we are in semis already cleaning the clock of aussies. My expectation was semis. They already did what we expected lol.
