There was a big change in the T20 World Cup because on 22 June in the Afghanistan vs Australia match, the Afghanistan team forced a team full of failures like Australia to defeat. This match seemed simple while watching its beginning and it was also predicted that the Australian team would win this match one-sidedly. But with a better team effort and good cricket, Afghanistan defeated Australia by 21 runs.
Match Summary
So according to Indian Standard Time, on 23 June 2023, in the Afghanistan vs Australia match, Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first and the Australian team came to bowl. It took 15 overs for the Australian team to take the first wicket of Afghanistan’s batsmen, although their run rate was not very good. But if I had said it keeping my father in mind then it wouldn’t have been bad. On that beach, the Australian fielders repeatedly proved their poor fielding and kept missing catches and giving boundaries. And the Afghanistan team was getting the benefit of this thing.
But despite that, due to the weak pitch, the Afghanistani batsmen were not able to bat well. After that first wicket, he had a great need to increase his run rate because he was able to score only 118 runs after 15 overs. After that, while playing big shots, sometimes the batters were getting caught out on the inside edge, sometimes on the outside edge, and sometimes they were getting bowled out due to the ball being low and this sequence continued.
And in the same beach, in this World Cup, Pat Cummins completed his second hat-trick and stopped the Afghanistan team on a low score. And the Afghanistan team managed to score only 148 runs in its 20 overs, losing 9 wickets. He said that he did not lose a single wicket in 15 overs and by the end of 20 overs, he lost 9 important wickets in 5 overs and was not successful in scoring more runs.
And in his next over, Tim David, who had just come to the crease, was also out LBW. But Maxwell kept one chowk together and kept playing his shots continuously and kept scoring runs with the other chowk. But in the 15th over Noor Ahmed took a brilliant catch and also dismissed Maxwell. After his wicket, I did not see any other batsman who was capable of batting on that wicket. Australia’s innings fell like a pack of cards after Maxwell’s wicket.
And there was a time when looking at him it seemed that he would win the match easily, now that did not seem possible. With the wickets falling continuously, the Australian team was able to score only 127 runs and were all out without playing their entire over with 5 balls remaining. And Afghanistan created history by winning this match. They defeated Australia for the first time in the World Cup and with this defeat, they changed the entire outcome of this World Cup.
T20 World Cup scenario after this match
After this defeat, the situation has become such that if Australia wins its next match then it will qualify, otherwise it will be out from the super-8 stage itself and it will not be so easy for them to win this match because Australia’s next The competition will be with Infoam India. And the Indian team has not lost in this entire tournament yet. So if Australia crosses this challenge then they will be able to reach the semi-finals, otherwise they will say goodbye to this World Cup from Super-8 itself.
