Australia’s T20 World Cup journey ended shockingly as Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh by eight runs (DLS method) in St Vincent. Despite Australia's earlier loss to India, hopes hinged on Bangladesh upsetting Afghanistan. However, Afghanistan defended their 115-5 total, bowling out Bangladesh for 105 in 17.5 overs. Key performances from Naveen-ul-Haq (4-26) and Rashid Khan (4-23) secured Afghanistan’s first semi-final berth in T20 World Cup history. Australia, the 2021 champions, exit after the Super Eight stage. Afghanistan will face South Africa in the semi-finals.
