Afghanistan Takes on Bangladesh Live in T20 World Cup 2024: Rashid Khan Comes to the Rescue as Bangladesh’s Chase Hits a Roadblock

In the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, Rashid Khan made a significant impact by breaking the Bangladesh middle order, dismissing Soumya Sarkar and Towhid Hridoy. This has put Afghanistan in a strong position to win and qualify for the semi-finals. Bangladesh, however, still have a chance to make a miraculous comeback and secure a spot in the semis if they chase down the target of 116 runs in 12.1 overs, or in 12.4 overs if they hit a six once the scores are tied.

Following a brief rain shower, Bangladesh will be chasing on a wet outfield, which could present some challenges. Afghanistan only need a win to qualify, but if they lose, Australia will qualify if Bangladesh fails to chase the target within the required overs. In the first innings, a late cameo by Rashid Khan helped Afghanistan reach a total of 115 runs in 20 overs. Rishad Hossain and Taskin Ahmed led a strong bowling performance for Bangladesh, causing a collapse in the middle of Afghanistan’s innings and restricting their scoring. Afghanistan are playing at the same venue where they previously defeated Australia, and the spin-friendly conditions are expected to work in their favor.
