Australia eliminated as Afghanistan beat Bangladesh to reach T20 World Cup semis
Australia have been bundled out of the T20 World Cup after Afghanistan secured a historic eight-run win over Bangladesh in a rain-affected thriller in St Vincent, confining the 2021 champions to a shock exit from the tournament. The damage done by a 24-run defeat to India earlier in the day proved irreparable, despite several scenarios that would have still seen Mitch Marsh’s team through to the semi-finals with fate taken out of their own hands. In the end, Afghanistan’s modest total of 115-5 was just enough as Bangladesh were bowled out for 105 after 17.5 overs with nine runs (under the DLS method) needed from seven remaining balls in a heart-stopping finish to the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
