Afghanistan Vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, Super Eight - Match 12 - Full Scorecard

Rishad Hossain to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! CAUGHT! Rishad Hossain with the big strike and Rahmanullah Gurbaz is left in disbelief. Rishad dishes out the leg break and bowls it full and wide of the off stump, just getting some bite off the surface. Gurbaz stays back and reaches out before slashing the ball aerially to sweeper cover and Soumya Sarkar takes a simple catch. 

Rishad Hossain to Ibrahim Zadran, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! There's the breakthrough Bangladesh was desperately searching for! Ibrahim Zadran departs on 18. Floats it up, full and outside off, Ibrahim Zadran gets a stride forward and goes big for a slog into the stands, but doesn't quite times it right and slices it over mid off. The ball swirls up in the air for a long time, Tanzim Hasan Sakib from long off sprints forward and takes a brilliant catch.

Mustafizur Rahman to Azmatullah Omarzai, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Good review from Bangladesh and Mustafizur Rahman gets a timely wicket. Fizz uses those lovely wrists of his and bowls it on a good length in the channel. The ball angles away but bounces a bit extra as well. Azmatullah Omarzai is pressed back and has a poke at it but the ball seems to have gone past the outside edge. There is a noise and the keeper goes up to appeal it but it is turned down. On reviewing, UltraEdge shows that the ball did take the toe end of the bat and Azmat has to walk back.

Rishad Hossain to Gulbadin Naib, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch from Soumya Sarkar and Rishad Hossain has his third wicket. Nicely tossed up around off, just drifting enough and turning away. Gulbadin Naib looks to slog it across the line and against the turn. The ball is sliced up in the air over the cover region and hangs for a bit. Soumya Sarkar covers a lot of ground as he comes charging in from the deep extra covers, and dives forward, holding onto the catch with his left hand even as he thuds onto the ground. A dramatic collapse for Afghanistan and they look distraught in the dugout.

Taskin Ahmed to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! CAUGHT! Taskin Ahmed built up enough pressure in those first three deliveries and is now rewarded with a wicket. Not quite short from Taskin rather just hammered in on a hard length around off stump. Mohammad Nabi looks to stay put and smash it across the line with sort of a horizontal bat but is late on the shot and the ball gets lofted away off the top edge in front of mid off. Najmul Hossain Shanto calls for it and takes a simple catch.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Tanzid Hasan, OUT! LBW! A lovely inswinger from Fazalhaq Farooqi and after a prolonged appeal, the umpire's finger goes up for the LBW. Tanzid Hasan has a long chat with Litton Das and reviews it at the last second. Getting to the delivery, Farooqi bowls it on a good length around off stump and gets the ball to just nip back in quickly after pitching. Tanzid with a wild hoick across the line doesn't get even near it. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds and the onfield decision is upheld. Farooqi now has the most wickets ever in a single T20 World Cup as he picks up his 16th of the tournament.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Afghanistan have their second wicket. Naveen-ul-Haq stays around the wicket and pitches the ball up on the off stump line. Najmul Hossain Shanto stays back and looks to drag the slog over deep mid-wicket but gets no timing on it whatsoever. The ball flies down to Mohammad Nabi in the deep and he makes no mistake with an easy grab. 

Naveen-ul-Haq to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Naveen-ul-Haq manages to hang on and he's got two in two! Slower delivery, floated up at the stumps, Shakib Al Hasan leans on and looks to flick across the line but closes the bat's face way too early. The ball goes off the leading edge and back to the bowler who shows good reflexes on the follow-through and after parrying the ball on the first attempt, keeps his cool to snaffle it on the second attempt. Afghan players are all pumped and why not? Naveen-ul-Haq has just provided an inroad for his team and is on a hat-trick now. Bangladesh is a spot of bother now.

Rashid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Rashid Khan strikes in his first over and Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket now. A conventional leg break on a shortish length, it skids through quickly, right in the front of the wickets. Soumya Sarkar is caught off guard as the ball comes too quickly after pitching and he fails to connect to the tuck across towards the leg side. The ball breaks into the stumps sneaking past the willow's edge.

Rashid Khan to Towhid Hridoy, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Rashid does it again. He is such a key weapon for this Afghan outfit! Bowls a flipper on a fullish length, it skids and bounces as well around off, Towhid Hridoy premeditates and sits down on his knee to slog it over but hits it with no real timing on it and against the wind. As a result, the ball hangs up and swirls high in the air and carries towards deep mid-wicket region where Ibrahim Zadran runs in a couple of yards and takes a good catch. This is Rashid's 150th T20I wicket.

Rashid Khan to Mahmudullah, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a review! No one other than the keeper was sure about it but Rashid Khan took the risk and it paid off big time. Rashid tosses the ball up full and around off, it is the wrong'un that dips and turns in a bit. Mahmudullah looks to reach out and hammers it through covers but is beaten past the outside edge. The substitute keeper, Mohammad Ishaq pouches it and appeals but it is turned down. The third umpire is called in and there is a spike on UltraEdge.

Rashid Khan to Rishad Hossain, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rashid Khan, you beauty! The Afghan skipper might be single-handedly dragging them into the semifinals here, what an effort. Rashid dishes out yet another googly and floats it up on the off stump. Rishad Hossain sits down to swipe across the line but is beaten all ends up by the turn into him and Rishad hears the death rattle behind him. Afghanistan on top of proceedings now.

Gulbadin Naib to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Gulbadin Naib with the golden arm! What a belter of a game this is turning out to be! Gulbadin Naib bangs it short and over the top of off, Tanzim Hasan Sakib stands tall in his crease and goes for a cross-batted shot and opens up in his stance. He is quite late on the shot and slices the ball in the air off the outer half of the bat and straight to the safe hands of Mohammad Nabi stationed at covers.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! CHOPPED ON! NAVEEN-UL-HAQ, YOU BEAUTY! Afghanistan is just a solitary wicket now from the qualification! Naveen-ul-Haq bowls a deceptive slower one from around the stumps and pitches it around off, and nips back it a bit as well. It keeps low and skids through quickly. Taskin Ahmed is deep in his crease and swipes it across the line but gets a thickish inside edge that dismantles the furniture. A sea of raw emotions in the Afghan camp! This game has swung to and fro keeping us all on the edge of the seats.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT! LBW! AFGHANISTAN HAVE DONE IT! THEY HAVE TURNED THE TABLES UPSIDE DOWN FROM HAVING BACKS AGAINST THEIR WALL! They came, they dreamt, they executed and they got the desired result! They defeated the Kiwis, executed an audacious heist against the Aussies and now they are through by defeating Bangladesh in the most historic manner! The celebrations begin from Kabul to Kandahar as Afghanistan advances to the semifinals for the first ever time in the T20 World Cup history. A glorious day for Afghanistan cricket. Naveen-ul-Haq spears in a fuller-length delivery which angles back into the batter from the off stump line, Mustafizur Rahman is rooted in the crease and is trapped on the front foot and gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball takes the whisker of the inside edge and pings his front pad. Mustafizur Rahman goes upstairs. UltraEdge comes up and shows that there's no nick when the ball passes through the inside edge. Ball Tracking confirms three reds. OUT it is and Afghanistan creates history by winning this game by 8 runs by DLS method and this means, Australia is officially eliminated from this ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
