Afghanistan vs Bangladesh: AFG win by 8 runs, reach maiden semifinal; Australia knocked out
The Bangladesh bowlers bowled tight lines and lengths and barring those three sixes at the fag end from Rashid, the Bangladesh batters never got going.
New York: Afghanistan sealed a dramatic win by 8 runs (via DLS method), in a dramatic rain-affected Super 8 encounter against Bangladesh. Australia are sent packing from the tournament, as they needed a Bangladesh win to qualify.
This will be Afghanistan’s first appearance at the semi-finals of a major ICC event. Despite Litton Das carrying the bat to the end with a battling half-century, Rashid Khan’s four-wicket haul inspired Afghanistan to victory, defending a low total. Earlier, Rashid had also hit a 10-ball 19-run cameo with the bat, which took Afghanistan beyond the 100-run total
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran chose to bat first, giving Afghanistan a solid start. They played with caution because it was difficult to bat in those conditions.
