Australia vs Afghanistan match report

 

Afghanistan pulled off an upset of epic proportions with a shock 21-run win over mighty Australia in T20 World Cup with Gulbadin Naib's four-wicket haul upending Pat Cummins' hat-trick to produce one of most memorable days in Afghan cricket.

Using the slower balls smartly on a difficult batting wicket, Afghanistan defended their total of 148 for six for their first-ever win over Australia in international cricket.

Afghanistan qualification scenario for Semifinal

 

After defeating Australia in the Super 8 clash, Afghanistan are in the race to qualify for the semi-final. Their qualification depends on the next clash where Rashid Khan & Co. face Bangladesh and this will be the do-or-die clash for Bangladesh. On the other hand, Australia are also in the semifinal race, and to seal their spot in the knockout they will have to win their match against India on Monday and also hope that Afghanistan loses to Bangladesh in their next match.
