Afghanistan vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2024: AFG win by 8 runs, reach maiden semifinal: In the crucial Super 8 match at Arnos Vale Stadium, Kingstown, Bangladesh’s disciplined bowling performance restricted Afghanistan to 115/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Despite a late flourish led by captain Rashid Khan, who scored a quick 19 off 10 balls including three sixes, Afghanistan struggled to accelerate against Bangladesh’s tight bowling.
However, the match faces uncertainty due to worsening rain conditions post the innings. The groundsmen swiftly covered the pitch as rain intensified. Bangladesh will be pleased with their bowling effort, keeping Afghanistan in check throughout most of their innings.
Here’s the scenario: If rain prevents further play, Afghanistan will advance to the semifinals. Bangladesh’s only chance to qualify would be to chase down the target of 116 in just 12.1 overs, surpassing both Australia and Afghanistan in net run rate to secure a spot in the semifinals.
