Gulbadin Fell Down

When everyone looked at the scoreboard, they saw that Afghanistan was ahead by two runs according to the Duckworth-Lewis method. If the match had not resumed, Afghanistan would have won. However, the match resumed after a while, and Gulbadin returned to the field perfectly fine. After the team’s victory, he was seen celebrating energetically. With this win against Bangladesh, Afghanistan joined India in reaching the semi-finals from Group 1, while Australia was knocked out of the tournament.
