Australia have been bundled out of the T20 World Cup after Afghanistan secured a historic eight-run win over Bangladesh in a rain-affected thriller
Afghanistan 115-5; Bangladesh 105 | Afghanistan win by 8 runs after Afghanistan secured a historic eight-run win over Bangladesh in a rain-affected thriller in St Vincent, confining the 2021 champions to a shock exit from the tournament.earlier in the day proved irreparable, despite several scenarios that would have still seen Mitch Marsh’s team through to the semi-finals with fate taken out of their own hands.
Though unlikely to knock off the runs so quick, the Tigers appeared set to derail Afghan hopes as opener Litton Das guided them to the brink of victory chasing a revised target of 114 that would have seen Australia qualify instead of Afghanistan. The last few overs were played out amid high drama, as DLS calculations constantly changed with every run made and wicket taken, in case of more rain falling.
“It’s something of a dream for us as a team,” Rashid said. “It’s all about the way we have started the tournament, the belief came when we beat New Zealand. It’s unbelievable, I don’t have the words to describe my feelings.”
