Afghanistan sealed a dramatic win by 8 runs (via DLS method), in a dramatic rain-affected Super 8 encounter against Bangladesh. Australia are sent packing from the tournament, as they needed a Bangladesh win to qualify.

This will be Afghanistan’s first appearance at the semi-finals of a major ICC event. Despite Litton Das carrying the bat to the end with a battling half-century, Rashid Khan’s four-wicket haul inspired Afghanistan to victory, defending a low total. Earlier, Rashid had also hit a 10-ball 19-run cameo with the bat, which took Afghanistan beyond the 100-run total

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran chose to bat first, giving Afghanistan a solid start. They played with caution because it was difficult to bat in those conditions.

The Bangladesh bowlers bowled tight lines and lengths and barring those three sixes at the fag end from Rashid, the Bangladesh batters never got going.
