Afghanistan created a history by beating Australia for the first time! None of us here in the forum might have expected a big upset like the one we witnessed today. Australian team were the favourite to win against Afghanistan but the Afghan bowlers were able to defend their target of 149 runs. They won by 21 runs difference and now the match between India and Australia will become important for Australia. If Australian team doesn't win then the NRR between Australia and Afghanistan will decide who goes to the semifinals. If Australia beats India then the calculation will be simple.
For the first time in t20 history, the Afghanistan team beat mighty Australia and created history this is very big win for Afghanistan team. Afghanistan opener Gurbaz and Ibrahim make a partnership of 118 runs which helped them to post a good score of 148 runs this target was enough for the Afghanistan team to defend and they did it. Afghanistan team bowling can destroyed any team batting line up. Australia team while chasing 105/5 in 14 overs and they needed 44 runs on last 36 balls Maxwell supported their team to close a victory but when Gulbadin Naib dismissed Maxwell i think this was the turning point for the Afghanistan team. All credit goes to Gulbadin who took four important wickets of Australia betters including Maxwell, Stoins, tim David and pat Cummins their middle order was destroyed by Gulbadin naib Now all eyes of the Afghanistan team is on the Australia vs India match because India's win over Australia will help the them to qualify for next round in case of Afghanistan beat Bangladesh in last match of super eight.
