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

[Croma]

Its better if they aim for single every ball, rather than playing missing.

 

[rhony]

130 could be ccmp.etitive.tough for new batters. Ball is still zipping around. BD batting is very nervy too

 

[followed]

Afganistan will come hard at bangladesh with ball I don't Bangladesh can chase more than 110 here.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Not really they are winning this.

its not gonna be easy. if you referring nepal game.. you should aslo know bd scored 159 against dutch on same track. Afg needs to reassess quickly

 

[AAli98]

Afgh batting like there coach trott

 

[sweep_shot]

3 off the over.

Last 3 overs: 4/1.

AFG - 62/1 (13 overs).

 

[rhony]

U are assuming they don't want to take a single.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a massive ground. Every team struggled to get to 100 on this pitch.

 

[Croma]

Almost caught it. what an effort

 

[pillionrider]

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

Obviously. We've done our end of what's required. We beat Australia, well, Rohit mostly did.

We didn't wait to ride on the coattails of someone else to do the job for us. We've done all we can to eliminate Australia. Some of you it seems are still searching for Kudrat, not for yourselves, but for India to NOT win despite earning their rightful place so far

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan has to learn to reverse sweep, sweep

 

[Croma]

Gabby has changed his bat.

 

[Croma]

GUrbaz 2.0 New Bat edition 4(1)*

 

[rhony]

This is a massive ground. Every team struggled to get to 100 on this pitch.

Is this the BD vs Nepal pitch?

 

[sweep_shot]

7 off the over. Afghans are cutting loose now. 3 balls to go.

 

[big_gamer007]

So are we sweating, whining and being timid for an afghan win today lads?
@JaDed @oatmeal @Nikhil_cric

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is this the BD vs Nepal pitch?

yes. Look at the massive cracks

 

[Croma]

Gubby 2.0 8(4)*

 

[rhony]

yes. Look at the massive cracks

Damn. Even saffers almost lost against Nepal. 120 pitch. Makes sense

 

[deltexas]

As I said before- lot of you folks are underestimating ban here. They can be in a Territory where they can chase it in 13 overs. Afg is being super defensive for no reason. 120 will not be enough

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn. Even saffers almost lost against Nepal. 120 pitch. Makes sense

Ground, outfield everything works against batsmen.

LoL hahah I don't care whichever team wins.

Obviously I don't want india to win but if they win it's obvious that they played better than other teams.

It's just fun to see your people getting nervous if Australia reaches the semis hahahhah

 

[Devadwal]

Such a pathetic bathing .yw wicket bacha ke achar dalna h kya

 

[cricketmania22]

Poor batting from Afghanistan. Haven’t shown much intent throughout

 

[followed]

Lol hahah gurbaz or Zimbabar I don't who is batting right now.
40 off 50 balls Zimbabar would be proud of his innings.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Afg already have a winning total with their bowling and our batting in this pitch. Bye bye Australia and Congrats India

 

[Croma]

Good defensive batting by Gurbaz. He has to stay till the end.

 

[rhony]

LoL hahah I don't care whichever team wins.

Obviously I don't want india to win but if they win it's obvious that they played better than other teams.

Nah India is sitting pretty. Three things. KL Rahul is out and India has a new batting strategy. Most importantly pitches remain the same for both innings with no dew. It's the other teams that are nervous

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Such a pathetic bathing .yw wicket bacha ke achar dalna h kya

 

[cricketcricket79]

What is Gurbaz doing? They have so many wickets in the shed.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

This is a massive ground. Every team struggled to get to 100 on this pitch.

yes but with one wicket down , afg is too slow. teams have struggled coz they have lost too many wickets

 

[followed]

Even if it's a pathetic pitch you still can't be batting like the test match is going on.

You have to show intent this is a T20 game.

 

[Croma]

Gurbaz should retire out himself.

 

[jnaveen1980]

yes but with one wicket down , afg is too slow. teams have struggled coz they have lost too many wickets

But they still have opportunity to finish big

 

[followed]

Lol hahahahh Afghanistan under immense pressure.
What a mixup..

 

[Croma]

Funny running. AFG are a mess

 

[JaDed]

This will backfire at Afghans.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only Bangladesh can miss a chance like this besides 5 year old kids lol

 

[rhony]

That's out. I heard the slund

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is out. Send Rashid khan

 

[Croma]

Can Bangla qualify?

 

[followed]

Omarzai gone for 10. Good review.

 

[cricketcricket79]

lol Afg. What are you doing?

 

[Savak]

Utterly bizzare innings by Gurbaz, is he playing a test match?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can Bangla qualify?

Technically yes.

 

[pillionrider]

LoL hahah I don't care whichever team wins.

Everyone should be nervous if Aus enter the final 4. They are that type of a beast as we all know.

If Afg are gonna choke this bad, they better choke bad enough for BD to be able to pull off the impossible semi heist

 

[followed]

Bangladesh has to finish strong here. I don't see Bangladesh chasing 120 here.

 

[rhony]

I never saw that Omarzai guy score. He definitely looks a weak no.3 for afghans

 

[Croma]

Gulbu and Gurbu need to fire now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn

 

[Devadwal]

Bangladesh should try to chase this target in 12 over.

They also can qualify.

 

[rhony]

It's tough to hit as we know. Whenever a big shot was played, the batsman got out

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rashid khan has to come and smash.

 

[Devadwal]

What a useless innings .

Can someone check their bank account

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

But they still have opportunity to finish big

this is a pressure game for Afghans.. first time in this territory.. looks like they are under pressure.. and it does funny things eventually

 

[followed]

Lol gurbaz Zimbabar batted truly like him and actor rizwan.
44 of 54 balls that's pathetic innings.
Strike rate of 78 after playing almost half of overs.

 

[Croma]

Pakistan are not nervous.

kidding of course

 

[rhony]

BD isn't qualifying. This isn't a 12 over hitting score on this pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh should try to chase this target in 12 over.

They also can qualify.

They won't try that. They have small team mentality.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wind, ground, pitch, ground everything work against you.

I think india will beat them again if they meet in finals.

 

[cricketmania22]

Can’t blame the pitch when a team shows no intent with 9 wickets in hand.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Technically yes.

Practically no.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why are they hitting the same area. Should have reverse swept

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Afghanistan panicking.. Are we going to see bangladesh in semis?

 

[rhony]

Can't hit big strokes on this pitch. Ball turns and also bounces and stops a bit.

 

[followed]

Keep them under 110 then Australia can qualify. LOL

 

[pillionrider]

Rishad reminds me of that Bishoo guy from WI. Lots of potential but will be a wasted talent if he doesn't find ways to reinvent himself.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They don't have any left handers?

 

[rhony]

Ones and twos and odd boundaries. Get to 120 and that's a winning score

 

[Devadwal]

You never Play such a crap innings now matter how is the pitch condition .

 

[Dhakar Pola]

They won't try that. They have small team mentality.

Lol have you seen our batsman? Even If we had Australian mentality you can't win a car race with no wheels

 

[deltexas]

See this is what happens if you are too defensive. Klrahul tuk tuk playbook. You need to have "intent" irrespective of pitch toss weather etc etc.. Ban can pull this off in 13 overs.. Hate teams playing defensive tuk tuk cricket

 

[jnaveen1980]

They need 120 that's it.

 

[followed]

Rishad reminds me of that Bishoo guy from WI. Lots of potential but will be a wasted talent if he doesn't find ways to reinvent himself.

He doesn't have enough control as of yet. If he works hard he can become a decent leg spinner

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

120 should be a winning score.. can they reach that?

 

[rhony]

Rishad reminds me of that Bishoo guy from WI. Lots of potential but will be a wasted talent if he doesn't find ways to reinvent himself.

Reminds me of that Rahul Sharma guy in IPL. Tall leg spinner

 

[AAli98]

Did someone say check there accounts

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

With all the Hullaboo.. Australia will qualify and win the Cup

 

[Devadwal]

120 should be a winning score.. can they reach that?

Max they can score 110 .

Bangladesh should try to chase inside 12 overs.
