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

[Devadwal]

Afghanistan were 20 runs short.

135 would have make game more intresting .

Now easy win for Bangladesh but can they chase in 12.1 overs ??

They should play for semi instead just a win .

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rashid Khan trolled Pakistan after win against Aussies by saying 23 is their favourite number coz they beat Pak on 23 rd oct and Aussies on 23rd june.. this level of trolling is expected from social media users not captain of Team who got so much respect in psl.. in celebration of their biggest win , players did nt miss the chance to take a dig at Pak.. i did nt hear USA captain calling 6th June their fav day .. bengalis dnt even remember the date they beat eng in 2015 to qualify for QF.. or kenyans remembering dates of 2003 wc when they played semi final

BD should either get bowled out or get those runs in 12 overs. No point in winning it without making it to semis. Nothing to lose. Rain also makes it easier to bat. Outfield will be a bit slower but over all advanage BD here due to rain.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is the whole story of that bat-throwing incident. Apparently Rashid khan wanted 2 but Karim Jannat said No to which Rashid Khan got furious and threw his bat in anger.

Heat of the game, nothing serious I thing.

Yea. They should treat this game as 12 over affairs.

Play shots even if they lose the wickets.

They are just need 85 runs in 8.9 overs .any other team would have not let go this golden apportunity.

Sowmya sarkar has come out with positive intention. They have 3 more batsmen. So they should make a dash. Win after 12.4 overs = Loss. They will be going home either way. There was a test match in West Indies where West Indies had 25 overs 173 runs to win on a pitch both teams scored 2.5 runs per over in the first 3 innings. They won in 23.1 overs Richards scored 61 in 30 balls or so. Ravi shastri, Mohinder all thrashed. That is how you create legacies.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Nikhil_cric Afg doing good so far to be batting first? Play conservative and any score good score?

Hard to say. SA also scored something similar. And they just about defended it against Nepal on this pitchm

 

[Buffet]

Rain shortened game would mean, BD will win but run rate won't go above Aus.

Aus seems like getting lucky due to rain here.

Problme is if 8 overs game happens then BD may win but won't take over Aus in run rate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stiff breeze is blowing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

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

Would be in everyone's interests - ours, England's, Saffers' etc.

 

[Croma]

Bangladesh running bw wickets has been really good today

 

[Devadwal]

No over lost as of now . Australia is favourite to reach in Semifinals without even playing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

As of now full overs are available.

 

[jnaveen1980]

After losing 2 matches advancing to semi final lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

After losing 2 matches advancing to semi final lol

Just like England and Afghanistan potentially ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

80 runs needed in 8 overs. Very much possible with a bit of luck.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Can he break the record made by Hasaranga???

Most wickets in a T20 World Cup edition

16 - Wanindu Hasaranga (SL, 2021)
16* - Fazalhaq Farooqi (AFG, 2024)
15 - Ajantha Mendis (SL, 2012)

 

[Devadwal]

After losing 2 matches advancing to semi final lol

Same happened in 2023 world cup. Now they will not let down this apportunity and will win the trophy .

Australia vs South Africa - Easy win for Australia

India vs England - can go either way

Final - Australia vs Anyone ,winner will be Australia .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Naveen bowled a rubbish ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

50 % chance of showers after 10-15 minutes.

Qudrat nizaming big time for Australia.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Athar ali khan is uncontrollable now.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Litton is the key here. If he plays 5 more overs then game is all BD's to win.

 

[pillionrider]

They turning themselves to universal supporters

They are negative maybe, but we got to accept they are O negative. They can donate their blood and wishes to anyone. Such a generous lot

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Rashid not bowling yet.

 

[Devadwal]

Bring Rashid khan. Why are they waiting for game to finished?

 

[jnaveen1980]

game is official now.

 

[sweep_shot]

Game can't be rained out now. 5 overs are done.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Have our Hindu brothers, Sowmya and Liton, not got the memo.

 

[jnaveen1980]

oh my god why nNabhi now?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Have our Hindu brothers, Sowmya and Liton, not got the memo.

They can win it potentially themselves

 

[Devadwal]

No Rashid. What a pathetic captaincy

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lots of bat throwing in this game. LOL

[jnaveen1980]

7 overs 72 is possible. Not sure if they have the desire

 

[BouncerGuy]

I think rashid is still furious with Karim Jannat for refusing to take the double where he threw his bat...LOL

 

[jnaveen1980]

That ball turned and bounced. GOod sign for Afghanistan

 

[Devadwal]

Why is bangladesh is not trying. Where is intent?

 

[globetrotter]

It seems Afghanistan wants to loose this one…….. may be punishment in AFG is severe for loosing in KO> loosing in super six

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is bangladesh is not trying. Where is intent?

That is their capacity lol

 

[big_gamer007]

Why is bangladesh is not trying. Where is intent?

Need a thread on it @TheSultan

 

[Croma]

Rashid Khan comes out late to bat, late to bowl

 

[Devadwal]

@TheSultan where is intent from Bangladesh ?? Can you please ask them

 

[jnaveen1980]

So Bangladesh has surrendered already lol.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

My gut instinct says AUstralia is going to semis

Your gut instinct have not met BD yet

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The rain has made that ball wet. No wonder BD are scoring relatively easily on this surface.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Beauty Rashid

 

[Devadwal]

Bowled

 

[Croma]

So Bangladesh has surrendered already lol.

Maybe received some $$$ from BCCI during rain break

 

[Mas-LFC]

Unfortunately this total of afg doesnt seem enough a full game BD will win. I want Haturu gone. So Come on Afghan!

 

[globetrotter]

Bowled….. AFG near the semis

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bangladesh would be lucky to win this match, let alone qualify.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

So Bangladesh has surrendered already lol.

Can't blame them. They started with intent but lost wickets so now trying to just win the match which I thing will be very difficult from here

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rashid came and rashid struck. Somya gone.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They need two more wickets. LItton specifically

 

[big_gamer007]

Afghanistan can only win by taking wickets.
If the match goes 20 overs BD will win, they are ahead of the run rate

 

[Buffet]

BD is slowing down.

 

[pillionrider]

Sarkar always looks to me like someone gave him estrogen injections in his sleep

 

[Mas-LFC]

This Soumya is a joker. Ball skidding man batting on the crease with huge back-lift. Absolute khet! the lot of them bd players

 

[cricketmania22]

Afghanistan is going to win it from here. I don’t see them losing now.

 

[Croma]

Mahmuddulah is another guy who likes to come in when there is no hope to win

 

[Devadwal]

BD is slowing down.

Really pathetic mindset ,no wonder they are still minnow.

They are not even trying it. They don't have anything to lose still playing like coward

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rain will save BD right now.

Slight correction Bangladeshis. Bengalis are the people who's mother toung is Bangla. Both India and Bangladesh has bengalies

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dropped catch

 

[Croma]

Droppped

 

[JaDed]

30 balls 65 is possible , go बांग्ला

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped.

Who was that idiots who dropped the catch

 

[Croma]

Pathetic fielding... free boundary

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Damn. Farooqui dropped the match. Congrats Australia.

 

[globetrotter]

From the game going so far, it seems Both Bangladesh and Afghanistan don’t want to go in semis, instead they are preferring Australia to go

 

[Croma]

4 more....

Afghanis losing it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Way too many misfields. pressure is getting to them.

 

[Croma]

a drop catch and few misfields...

Afghanistan are bottling this one big time

AUstralia hopes rising higher and higher.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hridoy is one of the better Bangladesh batters I've seen come through in recent years. Definitely has some potential, especially in shorter formats.

 

[cricketmania22]

Poor fielding.. but won’t matter. Afghanistan is one wicket away from an easy victory.

 

[Devadwal]

Afghanistan cant win and Bangladesh cant chase in 12.1 overs

 

[Buffet]

Not sure why BD is not playing shots.

 

[jnaveen1980]

4.1 overs 53 runs no way they score against Rashid.
