Afghanistan pulled off a stunning 21-run victory against Australia in the ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup, thanks to a brilliant opening partnership and formidable bowling display. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran set the stage with a 118-run stand, propelling Afghanistan to a total of 148-6. Despite Pat Cummins’ historic hat-trick, Australia fell short, bowled out for 127.
The result not only kept Afghanistan’s semifinal hopes alive but also breathed new life into Bangladesh’s chances in the tournament. Bangladesh now needs a significant victory against Afghanistan in their final Super Eight match to improve their net run-rate and hope for other results to go their way.
