Afghanistan made history by defeating Australia for the first time in international cricket, winning by 21 runs in their T20 World Cup Super 8 match. Chasing 149, Australia struggled early on, but Glenn Maxwell's 59 off 41 balls kept them in contention. However, Gulbadin Naib's four-wicket haul and Naveen-ul-Haq's three wickets helped Afghanistan bowl out Australia for 127. This thrilling win marks a milestone for Afghanistan cricket. Earlier, Australia's Pat Cummins became the first bowler to take consecutive hat-tricks in T20Is. The victory is a significant upset in the tournament, showcasing Afghanistan's determination and skill.
