Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 8 runs in a thrilling match. With this, Bangladesh is hoping to go to Super-4. In this match, Bangladesh scored 154 runs earlier, in response to which the Afghan team was struggling and could only score 146 runs. The race for Super-4 in Group-B has become even more exciting. Bangladesh returned to the match after Azmatullah Omarzai was out for 30 runs.
Azmatullah Omarzai’s brilliant innings
Half of Afghanistan’s team returned to the pavilion for 77 runs. From here, Azmatullah Omarzai became a ray of hope for the Afghan team. He played a 30 -ball 30 innings and increased the hopes of Afghanistan’s victory, but Tuscin Ahmed dismissed him in the 16th over. This is where the way of the match was changed.
Prevented Afghanistan from entering Super-4
Afghanistan could have reached the Super-4 by achieving just 155 runs, but the team was left behind by 8 runs. Afghanistan needed 45 runs to win in the last 4 overs. Captain Rashid Khan was still on the crease and scored 14 runs in the 17th over.
Ghazafar missed the hat -trick
The situation was that the Afghan team needed 27 runs to win in the last 2 overs. Rashid Khan hit the ball on the first ball of the 19th over, which led to the hope of Afghanistan’s victory, but Mustafizur Rahman dismissed him on the second ball. Mustafizur also dismissed Ghazaffar on the second ball, but he could not complete his hat -trick.
Noor Ahmed hit 2 sixes in the last over, but all of this proved insufficient for Afghanistan’s victory. Let me tell you that none of the team B has qualified for Super-4 yet.
