KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent (AP) — Afghanistan managed to secure their spot in the Twenty20 World Cup semifinals by defeating Australia by 21 runs after being asked to bat first on a difficult pitch at the Arnos Vale Ground.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran put on 118 for the highest opening partnership against Australia in a T20 match before Australia’s bowlers rallied late. For Australia, the only one who was able to come to terms with Afghanistan’s superb bowling attack and the turning wicket was Glenn Maxwell, who scored 59 runs off 41 balls.
Guldabin Naib took four wickets in the middle overs to stall Australia’s chase, and Azmatullah Omarzai completed the stunning win with the final wicket of Adam Zampa caught in the deep in the final over.
