Two More Wins to Make History! Afghanistan’s nail-biting win over Bangladesh was a historic moment, concluding the last Super 8 game of the T20 World Cup. Despite a modest batting performance, scoring only 115/5, it was the superb bowling by Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq, each taking four wickets, that sealed the victory by restricting Bangladesh to 105 runs.
Now, Afghanistan looks forward to a high-stakes clash against South Africa, scheduled for 6 AM IST on June 27. Can Rashid and his team create history? It’s going to be an exciting match to watch!
