Relations are not really warm between Afghanistan Cricket Board and Cricket Australia. CA cancelled the Afghan tour of Australia, citing the Taliban takeover. And as a response, Rashid Khan and other Afghan cricketers decided to boycott BBL. And both CA and ECB has requested the ICC to suspend ACB, given the lack of a women's national team (which is a mandatory requirement even for the associate members). And now Afghanistan has knocked Australia out of this tournament.
That is called perfect revenge
, where you show your dominance by your work.Also, we should know that Australia come under "Big 3" and they have so-called all the power and authority in cricket and you can understand what it means for them.
Despite these off-field tensions, Afghanistan's cricket team has shown remarkable resilience and performance in the field. Their recent victory over Australia resulting in knocking them out of the tournament is a reward for their hard work. Also, this win is particularly useful for them and when you know that Afghanistan is the Semi finals and Australians aren't makes a huge difference.
