Afghanistan (148/6) defeat Australia (127) by 21 runs in the Super 8 clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[Inswinging Yorker]

Travis gets his Head blown off by Naveen for an Australian style duck

 

[jnaveen1980]

These are the type of balls you would love to watch over and over. Heading down the leg side and swung back

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Excellent start by AFG

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cannot give extras to Aussies at all. They will hurt you badly. Aussies can concede but they can come back in some other way. Afghans can't

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Wow good shot by Marsh for 44444444444444

 

[globetrotter]

Faruqee not playing today?

 

[cricketmania22]

According to cricinfo. That sounds about right.

Win Probability: AFG 24.74% • AUS 75.26%

More like 60-40 in Australia’s favor.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they should use spinner against Marsh.

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 12/1 (2 overs).

 

[AAli98]

Indians rooting for Afghan this match will decide if India wins a icc title in 11years

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghans need to keep taking wickets , to keep there chances alive

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Marsh goes excellent from Naveen

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Afghans get second wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Naveen is such an intelligent bowler.

 

[cricketmania22]

Very smart bowling.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Indians rooting for Afghan this match will decide if India wins a icc title in 11years

Nah I want AFG to win and Auss to beat India

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think there any dew is it?

 

[sweep_shot]

Naveen is on fire.

Another wicket.

 

[Mockingbird]

Come on Afghanistan!

 

[cricketmania22]

Indians rooting for Afghan this match will decide if India wins a icc title in 11years

Even if Australia loses, India would still have to beat Australia to knock them out.

 

[Mockingbird]

I don't think there any dew is it?

It’s already 10.30 pm. If dew was present, it would have hit in the first innings.

 

[cricketmania22]

If this was Haris Rauf he would have kept bowling fast and Marsh would have kept hitting him for fours.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maxwell needs to be tamed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has nothing to lose in the match against Australia. They will express themselves against Aussies.

 

[jnaveen1980]

18 runs 4 leg byes in it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That ball to Travis Head was alright. But nothing compared to the bullet that got Buttler on that historic night at the Kotla.

In this WC 2024 i think that is the best.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In this WC 2024 i think that is the best.

This is the best he has bowled in this tournament , no doubt.

 

[Mockingbird]

Maxwell needs to be tamed.

Yeah Afghanis have all the reason to be wary of that guy

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

So far this match has played alot like the T20 version of the 2023 WC match between these two

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wankhede tormentor Maxwell - they have to take him out quick

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wankhede tormentor Maxwell - they have to take him out quick

But this is not wankhede. Also they don't have mujeeb to drop the catch lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia need 126 runs in 96 balls.

Required rate is under control here for Aussies , if they bat through they should win this

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far this match has played alot like the T20 version of the 2023 WC match between these two

Wankhede is an absolute belter. You can cash in once the dew sets in.

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 23/2 (4 overs).

 

[Champ_Pal]

Just tuned into the match. Afghanistan have another great chance to beat Australia.
It will be great for the sport if they can beat the powerhouse Australia. It all depends on how Rashid, Nabi and Noor perform.

 

[jnaveen1980]

9 extras. Not good guys. You cannot make them earn every run. Otherwise it will come back to haunt you.

 

[jnaveen1980]

poor bowling omarzai

 

[cricketmania22]

India has nothing to lose in the match against Australia. They will express themselves against Aussies.

If Afghanistan wins today, India can get knocked out as well but chances would be slim. India’s NRR is pretty good. However, in T20 it’s easier to increase your run rate compare to ODIs.

No India won't be. They are in fairly good position. Afghanistan' only way to adavance is beating Australia and hoping India beat Australia.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Afghans can't afford overs like that. 9 runs is just too many

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another batsman gone. Top 3 blown away. Rashid is still not even on yet.

 

[Mockingbird]

Warner gone!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Crisis Man stoinis. They must get him out asap. He can singlehandedly win a match like he did at the chepauk.

 

[sweep_shot]

Warner is out.

32/3.

 

[Asif321]

Big chance for Afghanistan . Don’t mess it up now

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

The Arrogant Warner goes

 

[jnaveen1980]

Are the sleding Stoinis? lol Afghanistan is showing fight.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stoinis is such a calculative beast. I am scared of this guy more than anyone else.

 

[cricketmania22]

No India won't be. They are in fairly good position. Afghanistan' only way to adavance is beating Australia and hoping India beat Australia.

They can beat Bangladesh badly to increase their runrate? Bangladesh isn’t that good.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Are the sleding Stoinis? lol Afghanistan is showing fight.

Bangladesh sledged India and showed a lot of fight but it didn't help them one bit.

Maybe Afghans will have more luck.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They can beat Bangladesh badly to increase their runrate? Bangladesh isn’t that good.

But they are not going to beat BD as badly as India beat Afghanistan. That is 47 runs deficit.

 

[Mockingbird]

They can beat Bangladesh badly to increase their runrate? Bangladesh isn’t that good.

They already played Bangladesh.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

well done Nabi, Auss feeling the pressure

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh sledged India and showed a lot of fight but it didn't help them one bit.

Maybe Afghans will have more luck.

Bangladesh as a team for their skill level shouldn't be indulging in these things. They should earn the fear from opposition like Jayasuriya did in the late 90s.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who is this guy. Never heard of him.

 

[Mockingbird]

They already played Bangladesh.

My bad, I thought you were referring to Australia.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Are the sleding Stoinis? lol Afghanistan is showing fight.

Remember his antics when he got Gurbaz?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stoinis is giving the look of he is going to get the job done. When he is calm watch out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They need these 2 asap one way or the other. THey can take the game away quickly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why are they using some random noob against Maxwell. He is playing his 4th match for heavensake.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That man Maxwell again.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Maxwell, Afghanistan's worst nightmare

 

[jnaveen1980]

Needless 13 run over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That man Maxwell again.

Afghanistan tactically made a blunder. Stupid noob bowled. Now they have changed the ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why didn't they appeal

 

[jnaveen1980]

They must get rid of these guys somehow. Most dangerous players. May not be technically great. But very feisty and can bully you.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Afghanistan is loosing the plot. 5 wides? seriously. Pathetic.

 

[cricketcricket79]

Rashid is brilliant cricketer but he is not a captain. Some of the moves he made today are head scratchers. Why did he take Nabi off after one over? Why did he not promote Nabi instead of himself and other guys in batting. These tactical blunders will cost Afg the match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

13 extras . This is going to come back and haunt them.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic review. This Noor has removed all the pressure with wide. Now they lost a review.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

What a dumb review. pitching outside leg was clear

 

[jnaveen1980]

Noor is losing the game for them. Bowling half volleies. wides.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Pathetic review. This Noor has removed all the pressure with wide. Now they lost a review.

exactly

 

[jnaveen1980]

You cannot trust this guy. Now long hop. Mujeeb is a way better bowler than this guy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. What a shot by Stoinis. Absolutely dismissive.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You gotta use the pitch.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Noor is losing the game for them. Bowling half volleies. wides.

Bowling crap

 

[JaDed]

So boring same script of Maxwell smacking Afghans. Win it for the insult Afghans

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxwell sucks against everyone and clicks agianst these guys lol
