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

[Wasim Ghulam]

Seems like rain is very heavy.

shortened Game will help bd i suppose

 

[Croma]

Rain is too heavy... Very tough to restart play

 

[jnaveen1980]

You forgot to include the biggest hearts that take a lot of effort to break

Yea.. lol Why do they hate Afghanistan advancing. It is not like India will lose only to Australia. They can lose to England as well. They should adopt England as their new favorite team lol

 

[Mas-LFC]

Afghanistan is here to play. BD players are here to to some branded shopping for their spouses.

Havent matured at all despite many of them have been playing for years. They just are in the comfy box at home in mirpur dead tracks, only.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Bangladesh will need 116 in 12. 1 overs
if 10 overs , target will be 77 runs but to qualify i think 8 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Passing showers should pass.

it's raining cats and dogs in St Vincent now.

How is the drainage system of this ground?

 

[rhony]

Either tam can win but BD isn't chasing it in 12 overs on this pitch. Infact, if they go for.it, it's advantage Afg as they can pick up wickets. Extremely tricky pitch

 

[followed]

Very heavy rain. Afghanistan is through to the semis and Indians can relax lol

 

[rhony]

Taskin had a over left. stupid decision to give him final over. he was already most expensive after 3 overs

Nope. Taskin bowled 4

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Theses runs make sure Australia qualified for semi.

Now bangladesh have uphill task ro Chase the Target in 13.4 overs

But they should try it.

12.1 overs

 

[followed]

You are so obsessed with India

I love india haahha. If you are from where I m from you would understand.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very heavy rain. Afghanistan is through to the semis and Indians can relax lol

Afghanistan going through should be cherished by everyone. What a story.

 

[stani_pak]

58

I think you can give some more credit although afghan posted a good total for this pitch and pressure match

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tanzim is a new ball bowler. They shouldn’t ball him at the death. Taskin and Fizz should be the ones finishing it off.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Havent matured at all despite many of them have been playing for years. They just are in the comfy box at home in mirpur dead tracks, only.

They will never mature. I have given up on this lot. 25 years is more than enough for me. But like a shameless idiot I still watch their game..it's like a curse

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Either tam can win but BD isn't chasing it in 12 overs on this pitch. Infact, if they go for.it, it's advantage Afg as they can pick up wickets. Extremely tricky pitch

If overs a re reduced it might become a lottery.
Target in 10 over game will be 77 and they might need to chase within 7.3 or 8 overs.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Afghanistan going through should be cherished by everyone. What a story.

as long ad they do not roll over against India in final we are happy for them

 

[pillionrider]

Yea.. lol Why do they hate Afghanistan advancing. It is not like India will lose only to Australia. They can lose to England as well. They should adopt England as their new favorite team lol

If we make it, do you think the impossible can happen?

Pak fans supporting India in an Afg-Ind final?

Just imagine the rollercoaster of emotions for Pak fans within a week.

Waiting on Australia.

Waiting on BD.

Waiting on England.

Then, Ind-Pak bhai bhai hahahahah

 

[dravidthewall]

What kind of innings afghanistan played..beyond wondering......and bagladesh giving 100 percent effort for this meaningless match...spoiling others party

 

[jnaveen1980]

as long ad they do not roll over against India in final we are happy for them

How do you think they will beat South Africa? South Africa is too strong for htem.

 

[Devadwal]

If overs a re reduced it might become a lottery.
Target in 10 over game will be 77 and they might need to chase within 7.3 or 8 overs.

No , DLS target only favour one team that is Australia.

Short tbe game better for Australia as Bangladesh can win but not enough to qualified for semifinals

 

[BDfanforever]

I hope Litton takes his sweet time to settle down.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

How do you think they will beat South Africa? South Africa is too strong for htem.

South Africa..semies..you know the love story

 

[dravidthewall]

Nabi is a such a heck

 

[jnaveen1980]

If we make it, do you think the impossible can happen?

Pak fans supporting India in an Afg-Ind final?

Just imagine the rollercoaster of emotions for Pak fans within a week.

Waiting on Australia.

Waiting on BD.

Waiting on England.

Then, Ind-Pak bhai bhai hahahahah

It is a lose-lose situation for them. I don't mind India losing final to Afghanistan.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

how did they beat Aussies?

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

No , DLS target only favour one team that is Australia.

Short tbe game better for Australia as Bangladesh can win but not enough to qualified for semifinals

Is it?

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africa..semies..you know the love story

But Afghans are not Aussies to pull off such things. Afghanistan is going in with just 2 good batsmen. Entire middle order can be kept quiet

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

How do you think they will beat South Africa? South Africa is too strong for htem.

same way they beat aussies

 

[dravidthewall]

Rain rain rain rain don't start the match....washout

 

[followed]

Afghanistan going through should be cherished by everyone. What a story.

No not really. I don't really like them much. If they play well they should go through.

 

[Buffet]

Aus and SA semis looks likely.

 

[batandballbattle]

if the rain subsides afghans won't have enough even on this tricky pitch
bangladesh will win but knock both sides out

 

[Devadwal]

There will no rain after 30-40 minutes for more than hour.

So we will definitely gets the result.

 

[Advaith]

shortened Game will help bd i suppose

How they calculate runrate for a shortened game ???

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Aus and SA semis looks likely.

I would bet you a buffet that it's not going to happen.

 

[pillionrider]

No not really. I don't really like them much. If they play well they should go through.

Yeah. No one, except columnists should care a damn about fairy tales.

If you deserve and earn it, you get it.

 

[battler]

Weather doesn't look good at all. I think Afghanistan is on their way to a famous semi-final spot

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

But Afghans are not Aussies to pull off such things. Afghanistan is going in with just 2 good batsmen. Entire middle order can be kept quiet

yes but SA almost choked yesterday too with equation that waz entirely in their favor after 11 overs. they got glaring weaknesses in middle order too. and spin friendly conditions dnt help them. they almost lost to nepal

 

[rhony]

If overs a re reduced it might become a lottery.
Target in 10 over game will be 77 and they might need to chase within 7.3 or 8 overs.

Possible yes

 

[dravidthewall]

Bangladesh will need 116 in 12. 1 overs
if 10 overs , target will be 77 runs but to qualify i think 8 overs

Qualification out of reach for Bangladesh

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rain will help BD so much. They allowed rain to fall on the pitch. So dryness will be gone.

 

[Devadwal]

Weather doesn't look good at all. I think Afghanistan is on their way to a famous semi-final spot

Rain will Stop for an Hour and more so we get the results.

 

[Devadwal]

Rain will help BD so much. They allowed rain to fall on the pitch. So dryness will be gone.

Yes , Afghanistan spinner's become useless after rain.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The approach of Bangladesh will tell us about whether they have the hunger, desire. It is a fluky chance they have in the history. Will they go for it?

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

No , DLS target only favour one team that is Australia.

Short tbe game better for Australia as Bangladesh can win but not enough to qualified for semifinals

77 target within 10 overs will needed to be scored in 26 balls by Bangladesh to overcome Australia.
There will still be a chance

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Possible yes

sorry it will be just 26 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

77 target within 10 overs will needed to be scored in 26 balls by Bangladesh to overcome Australia.
There will still be a chance

lol 26 balls

 

[Buffet]

I would bet you a buffet that it's not going to happen.

Ball will come nicely and I think positive intent by BD should be ebough to get these runs, but I don't think they have firepower to do it in 11 overs , So I think Aus should get the spot. Anyway, let's hope that rain does not take away overs. I want to see full game.

Afg kind of froze due to pressure here. I was puzzled by their approach to save wickets till 16th overs. They could have easily gotten 20 extra runs.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

winner of Thursday’s semi final is taking the trophy. same way it happened in 2022

 

[BDfanforever]

Whatever the case, this Super 8 format definitely created some drama.

 

[Buffet]

Rain will help BD so much. They allowed rain to fall on the pitch. So dryness will be gone.

Yah, that's why I think it will be easier for BD to bat now.

 

[Mas-LFC]

They will never mature. I have given up on this lot. 25 years is more than enough for me. But like a shameless idiot I still watch their game..it's like a curse

I gave up on them since last ODI world cup bro. I used to be a vivid follower, fan of BD cricket. Had such great vibes about bd cricket under Mashrafe as captain, thougt they turned a corner especially mentality and belief wise but nowdays it seems theyve gone backwards to pre 2015 era.

I lost quite a bit interest in cricket last few years because of BDCT. hardly follow any series or leagues only icc tournaments.

 

[dravidthewall]

Has rain stopped in st Louis

 

[jnaveen1980]

True. That maiden over was cardinal sin. Gurbaz can play short ball very well. He got into a shell for some reason.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

77 target within 10 overs will needed to be scored in 26 balls by Bangladesh to overcome Australia.
There will still be a chance

77 in 26 is nt happening on Pindi track let alone Kingston Minefield lol

 

[Croma]

if it's a 15-over game Bangladesh will have to get 94 in 7.2 overs to make it to the semis

 

[Mas-LFC]

No way BD getting 116 in 12.3 overs to advance to semis. If it was 95-105 maybe.

Afghan need to pray it rains off.

 

[dravidthewall]

140 runs atleast was fighting score. Afghanistan shoot themselves in foot..... australia will go through if match starts..it's all about quadrat ka nizaam for Afghanistan now

 

[jnaveen1980]

I root for Afghanistan. So it better rains off.

SA will be praying for Afghans
Austrlaia will be praying for BD
Pakistanis will be praying for BD lol
India will be praying for Afghans

Even England might prefer Afghans or SA.

 

[Devadwal]

Update -The live visuals reveal that the covers are firmly in place as it continues to rain.

 

[jnaveen1980]

if it's a 15-over game Bangladesh will have to get 94 in 7.2 overs to make it to the semis

Before rain i was confident. But pitch will become a belter now for a few overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Which TV shows live visuals. For me i just see a message

Posting from sports website

 

[Mas-LFC]

So

if it's a 15-over game Bangladesh will have to get 94 in 7.2 overs to make it to the semis

BD need 94 in 46 balls? Not happening.


They messed up by losing to India by 50runs. Teams need to start taking nrr serious. Had bd lost by 20-25runs they would’ve had lot better chance now!

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

covers are off

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia should suddenly change the captain from Marsh to Cummins. Rain will stop. I tell you. He has the motherload of luck.

You are one of the lucky ones who escaped BDCT

 

[Devadwal]

Rain has stopped .

 

[globetrotter]

If we make it, do you think the impossible can happen?

Pak fans supporting India in an Afg-Ind final?

Just imagine the rollercoaster of emotions for Pak fans within a week.

Waiting on Australia.

Waiting on BD.

Waiting on England.

Then, Ind-Pak bhai bhai hahahahah

They turning themselves to universal supporters

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

So

BD need 94 in 46 balls? Not happening.


They messed up by losing to India by 50runs. Teams need to start taking nrr serious. Had bd lost by 20-25runs they would’ve had lot better chance now!

pretty sure 94-20= 74 off 46 also not happening on this track

 

[globetrotter]

Target may be revised to 100 in 15 overs

 

[dravidthewall]

Rain god has stopped ..bye bye Afghanistan...

 

[jnaveen1980]

pretty sure 94-20= 74 off 46 also not happening on this track

There is no way in hell BD will get a better opportunity than this to get to semi final of world T20. They should make a dash at it even if wickets are lost.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Tamasha app

Tapmad app is good without ads. always live visuals even during breaks

 

[Mas-LFC]

Them two sixes Rashid hit last ball of Taskin and Tanzim ruined BD chase. Both were in the zone where RK wanted. Suppose they went for two dots or singles. BD would’ve had less to get in more balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dont count Pakistan .they will pray for everyone apart from india. Lol

Yea.. First pray for BD
if that doesn't work
pray for England
if that doesn't work Pray for SA lol

 

[Buffet]

First 6-7 overs, wicket may be very good to bat due to rain falling before cover came on. I don't follow BD closely but they should simply send any big hitters they have as opener. There is no point in playing it safe.
