Afghanistan came close twice but at the third time of trying, they got their big moment under the dazzling lights of the Aronos Vale Ground in St Vincent by downing World Cup royalty Australia with an outstanding all-round performance. This win for the ages was set up by a third century stand of the tournament between Rahmanullah Gurbaz (61) and Ibrahim Zadran (51), but the biggest flex came from veteran Gulbadin Naib, who returned figures of 4 for 20 in the defence of 148. Among his scalps was that of Glenn Maxwell, who was the only Australian standing between Afghanistan and their biggest win in T20 World Cup history. Afghanistan’s win has blown open Group 1 in the Super 8 phase. They will remain at St Vincent and take on continental rivals Bangladesh in their final Super 8 match on June 24. Australia will head to St Lucia for the blockbuster clash against India in the morning fixture on the same day.
