Afghanistan qualified for the semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 after beating Bangladesh by eight runs (DLS method) in the Super Eights match at the Arnos Vale Ground on Tuesday morning (June 25).
Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq led the Afghan bowling attack and helped their side defend the given target of 115. The second inning of the match was reduced to 19 overs, and the target was 114 runs after Rain played a spoilsport in the second inning.
After the defeat, Mitchell Marsh-led Australia are also out of the tournament. The Aussies ended up in third place in the Group 1 table of the Super Eights with just two points.
Litton Das (54* runs from 49 balls, 5 fours, and 1 six) was the only standout batter for the Tigers after his unbeaten knock.
Soumya Sarkar (10 runs from 10 balls, 1 four) and Towhid Hridoy (14 runs from 9 balls, 2 fours) tried their best to form a partnership with Litton, but they struggled to face the Afghan bowlers, who were ferocious while defending the target.
Naveen-ul-Haq and Rashid Khan picked up four wickets each in their respective spells. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Gulbadin Naib also bagged one wicket each in their respective spells and helped the Afghan side win the match by eight runs.
Naveen removed Mustafizur Rahman from the crease in the fifth ball of the 18th over to end the match early.
Naveen-ul-Haq was named the 'Player of the Match' after he displayed a stupendous performance while defending the target given by Afghanistan.
