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.

Since Australia match with Afghanistan and when Maxwell alone scored 200 runs. Made and won the match. Since that day I have been watching Maxwell's performance and have never seen it again. The performance of this bat seemed to be losing at that time but Maxwell showed his good performance and scored 200 runs to destroy the pride of Afghanistan. And in this match, Bangladesh is competing with Australia. Which is the defeat of Bangladesh. Australia is very strong. And in this match too they have given a target of 140 which is very easy for them. The Australian batsmen scored 100 runs in 11 overs and with the help of DSL, Australia won the match even if it did not go in their favour, they still had 9 overs in their favour. The Australian bowler stopped the runs with good bowling and took wickets and got an easy target for his batsmen and his batsmen also scored runs with good pace early with good hits. Congratulations to Australia for this win and the Bangladesh batsmen should take pride in their performance.
