Afghanistan National Cricket Team vs Bangladesh National cricket Team Stats, T20 World Cup 2024: Bangladesh’s superb bowling performance restricted Afghanistan to 115/5 in a must-win Super 8 match at the Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh by 8 runs in a rain truncated match which saw the Afghan team reach their first semifinal in history. The loss for Bangladesh also meant that 2021 champions Australia were knocked out.
Riding on their captain Rashid Khan’s fantastic cameo, Afghanistan have managed to post 115/5 at the end of their 20 overs against Bangladesh in their last Super Eight match at the St Vincent on Tuesday. Rashid scored a brisk 10-ball 19, including three sixes to help his team reach a respectable total.
Opting to bat first, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran got Afghanistan off to a steady start. They played cautiously as those weren’t easy conditions to bat. 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.

However, Afghanistan’s NRR is on the negative.
