Afghanistan, Australia, and Bangladesh are eyeing a spot in the T20 World Cup semi-final against South Africa, which is going to be played on June 27.
Although the chances of Bangladesh making it to the semi-final are slim, they are leaving no stone unturned in the ongoing match against Afghanistan.
T20 World Cup: Afghanistan vs Bangladesh was halted for few minutes due to rain
Who will go to the semi-final will be decided by the outcome of today’s match.
If Afghanistan wins, they will enter the semi-final. However, if Bangladesh wins, then one of the three teams, namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, or Australia, with the highest Net Run Rate (NRR) will go to the semi-final.
A few minutes ago, rain stopped play. It resumed after a brief pause.
However, if rain plays spoilsport again, the DLS score will be considered, and based on it, either Afghanistan or Bangladesh will be declared the winner.
