By clinching a historic win, Afghanistan knocked down Bangladesh in a nail-biting match, which was the last Super 8 game of the T20 World Cup. Although Afghanistan’s batters were disappointed and didn’t live up to their reputation, made only 115/5. It was Skipper Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq who took four wickets each, pushing the win into Afghanistan’s bag and restricting them to just 105 runs.
Now, Afghanistan sets its eyes on a high-stakes clash against South Africa scheduled for 6 AM IST on June 27. Can Rashid and co script history? It will be interesting to see.
