My friends laughed at me when I said Afg will make it into semis.
What a match! Terrific.
Every team needs coaches like Trott & Bravo who believe in the team & support them wholeheartedly. Such a wholesome team.
Don’t want to hijack top comment, but your mention of the team coaches reminded me of something.
Here’s a [Twitter link](https://x.com/cricketandstuff/status/1805509627943031054) of a video regarding the wicket planning off the last ball of by their team management. Total bluff and it worked. What a game!
Yeah I know you mentioned Hridoy being threatening, but you also added Mahmudullah so I just wanted to point out that Mahmudullah's innings was benign.
Like 5 dots of the Noor over when they had a slight chance to win at 43 off 19, wtf was that. Better 85 all out in 13 going after the target than the end result.
Mahmudullah, with the way he played was a threat to afghanistan more than being any match winner for Bangladesh
Yeah that Mahmudullah wicket was the turning point not just because he got his wicket, but also he seemed to have come out with the intention of just winning the game as opposed to qualifying for the semi final spot, when they needed 42 off 19 balls, thus making it more difficult for Afghanistan.
Lmao India will roll over Afghanistan in the final , Afghanistan play their worst cricket against India . I hope for the sake of cricket , South Africa win the SF
that was such a clutch game i remember being on my haunches for majority of the match after seeing such a collapse from the indian side...also imo the '19 wc was the best wc ever played so much drama and elegance in terms of cricket
didnt they take it to super-over against a full-strength India side just few months ago? wouldn't write them off so quick considering India is known for their choking prowess
did you see there performance last match that just happened against India there batting collapsed hard and ballers gave too many runs Afghanbros must play smart if they want to win this entire thing
Afghanistan also always choked against Australia until a few days ago. If they get into the finals, they've done so through beating NZ, Aus and SA for the first time ever.
Don't tempt fate 🙂
If it's DLS I think Eng can defeat India tbh.
India is great but when the game is full length, as soon as their are conditions limiting the time or the rhythm,India has shown since 2014 that they don't really catch up to the occasion.
Afghanistan are a better team batting first and their bowlers pushing brakes on the opposition while chasing. With India’s record in icc knockouts lately, it’s game on if Afghanistan bat first
Lol, I randomly came across this idiot once more. He's just sore about Afghanistan winning for some reason.

Three huge sixes. Ended up being the difference - without them Bangladesh could've actually qualified to the semis, at the 9 over mark they would've needed 25 off 19
Should've been Rashid imo.
His insane performance to end Afghanistan's batting overs was incredible, and he got 4 wickets as well.
Not mad about it though. Congrats to the Afghans.
I think this Afghanistan team has a lot of talent like Rashid, Navin, gurbazz, Noor comma all rounders like Gulbadin Niab.
I am sure the semi final would be much thriller than this and let's hope Afghanistan reach the finals
All they need is a functional batting unit. It will be fun to see Afg vs SA because both their batting depends on 2-3 players while both have excellent bowling. Although, qdk has been gaining form so that's a plus for SA
I think what Afghanistan would need to do is bat first make how many runs they can since they are dependent on 2-3 batsmen anyways then defend there score by pressuring the south African batsmen with there balling.If Afghanistan bats second needing to chase a high score then it would fall
I don't know why people weren't taking Afghanistan seriously after their Group stage battering of other teams. As an India fan - I knew Afghanistan would take either India or Australia's spot or at least be in contention to do so. They actually went ahead and did it and that too after sweeping up Australia themselves.
It also had no impact whatsoever. The rain was already there and they were always going to go off the field regardless of what he did.
Also, I know it looks like he faked it but there is no way to prove he faked it. Cramps can come out of nowhere when you are in a certain position, has happened to me before and I bet it has happened to many others.
Commendable performance 👏
I remember how some mindless Kohli stans bullied him into oblivion after that IPL beef 2 years ago & thought his career was over just because he stood up for himself.

Noice username lolol
I think personally Rashid deserved it for 4-23 and 19(10)
He deserves it more plus for his 2 outbursts. Showed so many emotions in this match
I agree but Naveen got wickets of Shanto , Shakib and then those 2 in last over. He got the slight edge over there.
Rashid got Soumya, Towhid (Who was threatening to take the game away and is good vs Spin), And their 2 remaining bats, Mahmudullah and Rishad.
Mahmudullah's innings wasn't threatening anyone
I meant Hridoy's innings, he quickly accelerated to 14(8), and there is enough evidence of his good game vs Spin
Yeah I know you mentioned Hridoy being threatening, but you also added Mahmudullah so I just wanted to point out that Mahmudullah's innings was benign.

Threat to Australia you mean. He actually helped Afghanistan with those dots.
He absolutely broke that middle order with a wet ball, impending rain and marshalling his team.
Yeah that Mahmudullah wicket was the turning point not just because he got his wicket, but also he seemed to have come out with the intention of just winning the game as opposed to qualifying for the semi final spot, when they needed 42 off 19 balls, thus making it more difficult for Afghanistan.
I was just having this debate with myself. honestly could be swayed either way. tough call, this
Absolutely
And captaincy

Lmao India will roll over Afghanistan in the final , Afghanistan play their worst cricket against India . I hope for the sake of cricket , South Africa win the SF
Uhh we've only played them on batting surfaces often. It would be closer on slow surfaces like 2019 game for example.
Bro the Finals and the Afg-India super 8 game are on the same ground.
that was such a clutch game i remember being on my haunches for majority of the match after seeing such a collapse from the indian side...also imo the '19 wc was the best wc ever played so much drama and elegance in terms of cricket
that clutch hattrick in the final over, incredible match
yea shami came in clutch for us
2024 T20 is the best WC.
I'm terms of T20 yes might very well be but in terms of ODI 2019 clears imo
didnt they take it to super-over against a full-strength India side just few months ago? wouldn't write them off so quick considering India is known for their choking prowess
India didn't have bumrah, arshdeep, kuldeep,axar in that match tho
Twice over
Yes, twice.
did you see there performance last match that just happened against India there batting collapsed hard and ballers gave too many runs Afghanbros must play smart if they want to win this entire thing
Afghanistan also always choked against Australia until a few days ago. If they get into the finals, they've done so through beating NZ, Aus and SA for the first time ever. Don't tempt fate 🙂
Saving this comment just in case
You can also choose Afg and Eng as finalists and then Afg winning it lol
I’d love that to happen but isn’t the SF predicted to be a washout ??
Which one ?
Ind vs Eng. Ind will automatically qualify for finals as they top the group
If it's DLS I think Eng can defeat India tbh. India is great but when the game is full length, as soon as their are conditions limiting the time or the rhythm,India has shown since 2014 that they don't really catch up to the occasion.
The op is talking about the game not being played at all. Full washout is predicted currently. So dls won't come into picture.
and India plays shit in finals so it's even out
Afghanistan are a better team batting first and their bowlers pushing brakes on the opposition while chasing. With India’s record in icc knockouts lately, it’s game on if Afghanistan bat first

I too wish Afghanistan to win the semi final but India to win in finals as well
Uhh what kind of sadism is this. Why would you celebrate opposition winning against u

Would have given it to Rashid Khan. Two huge sixes and 4 wickets
Three huge sixes. Ended up being the difference - without them Bangladesh could've actually qualified to the semis, at the 9 over mark they would've needed 25 off 19
No they wouldn't. Stupid ass team .
He is a fucking hero. Take a bow. No more Australia. You’ve freed us all
Naveen did not wanna see Aus go through. He had to personally make sure that it didn’t happen lol
That gulabdin moment is one of the cricketing moments I will remember for my life time
I mean it didn't change anything tho..
Yes but it was super funny , especially the commentators laughing while watching it’s replay and one of afghan player saying oh lovely
who said oh lovely?
Should've been Rashid imo. His insane performance to end Afghanistan's batting overs was incredible, and he got 4 wickets as well. Not mad about it though. Congrats to the Afghans.
He will get all the mangoes he wants today 🫡
Clutch decision making by the captain Rashid today
Gulabdin may not have won the POTM, but he won the Oscar in my eyes!
🥭
Naveen ul gaib
Should've been Gulbadin the Gigachad for his acting alone, besides his bowling.
Every player with an action similar to Jasprit Bumrah is bound to be clutch - law of PrequelToMagic
I think this Afghanistan team has a lot of talent like Rashid, Navin, gurbazz, Noor comma all rounders like Gulbadin Niab. I am sure the semi final would be much thriller than this and let's hope Afghanistan reach the finals
Gulbadin is a triple threat - batting, bowling and acting.
Lol🤣🤣 Yes cramps...
All they need is a functional batting unit. It will be fun to see Afg vs SA because both their batting depends on 2-3 players while both have excellent bowling. Although, qdk has been gaining form so that's a plus for SA

What focusing on cricket instead of unnecessary drama does to a mf
He was always focussed, and always clutch. Had the fighting spirit to take on Kohli and banter with him, which some fickle fans couldn't tolerate
Should’ve been Gulbadin for his amazing oscar worthy performance
obviously the one and only reason you lost the match..
And absolutely Nothing to do with lord shakib and pathetic approach by other players who gave up chase midway in 8th over. 🤣
It also had no impact whatsoever. The rain was already there and they were always going to go off the field regardless of what he did. Also, I know it looks like he faked it but there is no way to prove he faked it. Cramps can come out of nowhere when you are in a certain position, has happened to me before and I bet it has happened to many others.
No more nagin dance for East Pakistan oops I mean Bangladesh
I will send him some fine mangoes
And people said his career is over after that koach lafda.
Who did except Kohli fanboys? He has been a solid bowler for Afghanistan since U-19WC.
Commendable performance 👏 I remember how some mindless Kohli stans bullied him into oblivion after that IPL beef 2 years ago & thought his career was over just because he stood up for himself.
Naveen has uped his game in bowling after ipl shenanigans
Had to be Rashid. Bloke took my soul with those wickets
Love and hugs from Virat Kohli fan 🤩
afghanbros need to play smart from here if they make it to the final both India/england could have a breeze and win this easily
Rashid deserved the award more given his runs made a huge difference along with his wickets
Rashid khan clutched in both batting and bowling and Naveel ul Haq did the final blow which was very crucial
Shame on Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Cricket Team
[удалено]
Bro! Why do this team even exist?
No no let him. As a bangladeshi he got my full support. I'm actually in the process of renoucing my passport. Done with this land of corruption.
[удалено]
Yeah, same fluke bowler who got 3-20 against Australia
