Afghanistan better placed than Bangladesh in dash for last semi-final spot
KINGSTOWN – Afghanistan created history on Tuesday when they defeated Bangladesh by eight runs under the Duckworth Lewis System in the last match of the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup in St. Vincent to move into the semi-final and sent Australia home.
Rain intervened regularly but the match continued and Bangladesh had to score 108 runs in 19 overs under the DLS method. But the Afghans hold their nerves and bowled them out for 105 in the last over. Litton Das fought gallantly but ran out of support at the other end and remained unbeaten on 54. Incidentally, it was Afghanistan's first victory against Bangladesh in a World Cup game. The two teams had met four times – once in a T20 World Cup and three times in the ODI World Cup – and Bangladesh had won all those matches.
Afghanistan can reach the last four of the tournament with a victory in Monday's game which would also eliminate Australia. Seamer Taskin Ahmed, one of two changes to the Bangladesh team which lost heavily to semi-final qualifiers India in their last match two days ago, produced a superb four-over spell, conceding just 12 runs for the wicket of former captain Mohammad Nabi.
