T20 World Cup: Afghanistan's All-round Display Seals First Ever Win Over Australia
T20 World Cup Super Eight: Riding on Gulbadin Naib's four-wicket haul after Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran's opening stand of 118, Afghanistan stunned Australia by 21 runs in the T20 World Cup Super Eight match on Sunday (as per IST) here at Arnos Vale Ground, securing their first-ever win over the cricketing powerhouse.
Afghanistan's win brought an end to Australia's impressive unbeaten run at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Now, both teams are neck-and-neck in the race to join India in the next phase of the tournament.
Australia's skipper Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to field first, a decision that may well have proven fatal. Gurbaz and Zadran's opening stand of 118 off 95 balls took Afghanistan to 148/6 in 20 overs.
