T20 World Cup 2024: The Super Eight phase of the ICC’s T20 World Cup 2024 came to a really exciting and nail biting end following Afghanistan’s dramatic win by eight runs (DLS-method) over Bangladesh in a rain-affected encounter at St. Vincent’s Arnos Vale Stadium. This win over the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team meant that Australia got eliminated from the tournament and the Afghans became the fourth team after England, India and South Africa to successfully qualify for the semi-finals of ICC’S T20 World Cup 2024.
After losing against the Indians in their opening Super eight fixture, the Afghans needed to win the match against Australia and they did exactly that as they recorded their first win over the Kangaroos in International Cricket and scripted one of the biggest upsets in World Cricket as Rashid Khan and his men stunned the Kangaroos by 21 runs.
With the Mitchell Marsh-led team losing against the Indian Cricket Team in yesterday’s high intensity encounter, Rashid Khan and his men just needed to secure a win over Bangladesh and they proved their doubters wrong as they successfully qualified for the semis with a nail-biting win against the Tigers where rain played a huge role.
Talking about the semi finalists, from group number one of the Super Eight, alongside Afghanistan, India cruised into the semis as they secured their third Super 8 win by hammering the mighty Aussies by 24 runs to confirm their top of the table group one finish and confirmed their semi-final encounter with reigning champions England. Both of these teams had met each other in the semi finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup, where the Jos Buttler-led team humiliated the Men in Blue with a 10 wicket victory.
England were on the verge of getting knocked out of the 2024 T20 World Cup twice but they managed to secure dominating victories overs Namibia and Oman in the group-stage and then defeated both the co-hosts Windies and the United States in the Super eight, which meant that the Three Lions confirmed their semi final spot.
South Africa on the other hand, finished at the top of Group two as they won all three of their Super Eight matches and went unbeaten in the group stage phase as well. Although the Proteas have managed to win in all of their fixtures so far, six of those victories have come in nail-biting matches, which could have ended in a different result as well. They will face the highly-confident Afghanistan in the first semi final.
