T20 World Cup 2022, Australia vs Afghanistan: In a close game, Australia came out on top of Afghanistan by the smallest of margins. Rashid Khan right toward the end created a few firecrackers with his rankling 48 of only 23 balls. Nevertheless, they were defeated by four runs. Australia, on the other hand, was focused on other things, like qualifying for the T20 World Cup 2022 Semifinals.
The strain is displayed all throughout the game. When Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis were batting together, they looked like they would be able to make 200 runs when they scored 54(32) and 25(21) runs, but Naveen-ul-Haq bowled a brilliant death over, scoring 21 runs in four overs and picking three for. After a significant partnership between Gulbadin Naib (39 for 23 runs) and Ibrahim Zaidan (26 for 33 runs) in their bowling innings, Australia brought Afghanistan back into the game at one point with a score of 101/5.
However, when Rashid needed a few more, the pendulum swung once more. Overall, the Australians’ chances of reaching the semifinals are in jeopardy after another timid performance. For Australia to advance, Sri Lanka must defeat England tomorrow at the SCG, or the defending champions will be eliminated.
