Afghanistan will take on Bangladesh in the final Super 8 match of the ICC Men's 2024 T20 World Cup at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent, on Tuesday, June 25. The Group 1 match will begin at 6:00 AM IST and 8:30 PM local time [June 24].
Following their famous triumph over Australia, Afghanistan are very much in the hunt for a place in the semifinals of the 2024 T20 World Cup. In case Australia go down to India in their last Super 8 match, Afghanistan can qualify for the knockouts by beating Bangladesh.
In case Australia defeat India in St Lucia, Afghanistan will not only have to beat Bangladesh but also surpass the Aussies on the net run rate. If Australia beat India by one run, Afghanistan will have to get the better of Bangladesh by 36 runs [assuming the teams batting first score 160].
