Afghanistan pulled off one of the biggest upsets in T20 World Cup history as they defeat Australia by 21 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight clash on Sunday, June 23. Chasing 149 to win, Australia lost early wickets, but Glenn Maxwell steadied the run chase with a 41-ball 59. But his dismissal triggered a sort of collapse for Australia, with Afghanistan bowlers striking at regular intervals. Gulbadin Naib was the best Afghanistan bowler, taking four wickets in four overs while giving away only 20 runs. Naveen-ul-Haq also took three wickets in his four overs. With this win, Afghanistan remain alive in the race to make it to the semifinals. Earlier, Afghanistan scored 148/6 after batting first with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran hitting half-centuries. Pat Cummins made history by becoming the first bowler to take consecutive hat-tricks in T20 World Cups. Marcus Stoinis Gives Send-Off to Rahmanullah Gurbaz After Dismissing Him During AFG vs AUS T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Match, Video Goes Viral.
