- 2024 T20 World Cup, Day 22.2: Australia v Afghanistan
After their all-timer in Mumbai at last year's one-day World Cup, and the boycotting of bilateral series, this encounter was always going to have some extra interest. And on a difficult track in St Vincent, Afghanistan showed up to the party ready to dance. Gurbaz and Ibrahim started it, Gulbadin finished it off, but along the way they had to confront and shut down the Glenn Maxwell machine. A night for history. Bharat Sundaresan joins Geoff Lemon.

Don't call it a shock because even in 23cup they outplayed Aus. It took once in a lifetime innings to rescue that time. So it doesn't seem as a shock to me at all. Also afg have done very good in most games when they does well in fielding. It's their fielding that has been their Achilles heel most of the time. Today apart from one tiny mistake they fielded well. When they field well AFG are one of the best t20 sides in my eye
Always looking for a reason to be offended are ya?
@@UmpireStrikesBackAlways being condescending to afghanistan
@@UmpireStrikesBack what the fck. Offended. Lol . I am not offended at all. As a cricket fan from a country that is not from any of these two countries I have followed afg team for a while now. And this win isn't a shock for anyone who have followed afg cricket. They just doesn't seem very good in the field and that's their biggest weekness that have been haunting them. I'm just stating facts. Just look at it. Afg has one of the most destructive batting line-ups and arguably one of the best bowling attacks. So them defeating Australia is not much of a shock now.
@@gamerxvc3055 I picked up Cricket again after a long time around Asia Cup 23. It was incredibly surprising how much Afg had improved. Their players are regulars in the IPL teams. Had they not dropped those catches of Maxwell in the WC, they absolutely were beating them.
Normally when the underdog wins it’s fair to call it a shock.
Damn aussies can't believe losing to Afghanistan & now it's a do or die for mighty aussies against India 😢
Aussies are going to give everything against India, cracker of a match coming up... :)
They just need the spirit of Albert Jacka
Its no more a shock result . I am a big aussie fan . I watched Aus vs Afg in adelaide oval in 2022 WC. They almost won the match. Almost done in 2023 in mumbai if it was not for maxis 200.
Yep, they've always threatened
Brilliant analysis as you'd expect from TFW.. I just want to commend the hard work you blokes put in even at the oddest of hours. Must be bloody hard to be excited about talking cricket at the end of a long day. ❤
That's a wonderful message to recieve. Thanks so much!
Nice to see the watch back. 😊
Australia is afraid of Afghanistan. And Afghanistan is afraid of Glenn Maxwell. But unfortunately, Glenn Maxwell wasn't afraid of Australia to complete the circle and so he didn't take them all the way home.
Well summed up
We afghan deserve to win the t20 World Cup.because it’s just begging to show the world our talented boys. Don’t forget we gonna produce much better players in future inshallah
No y'all don't y'all need world class batsman to win a world cup
They're a very, very good team
@joeljoseph2028 batsmen win matches and bowlers win tournaments is rhe old saying now that they are through to the semis they might even defeat south Africa as they have a history to choke to go to the final
Well done, Afganistan ! Well-deserved result. Thought they were a bit unders at halfway, but a great bowling display. Now the group is spicy, India get a chance to send Australia home with a thumping victory. Expect them to be up for it. The WC is alive!
Full of upsets! It's been a cracking tournament to watch
Geoff used to be completely unbiased a few years back. Now he isn’t much fun
It felt like he was upset. Which is totally ok to be. But no need to hide maybe?
Australia have never won an ICC trophy wearing Green
Nice observation
Stone cold fact.
As an England fan I can only say. Have that Josh Hazelwood. What comes around goes around. And I only wish India and Afghanistan the best of luck in knocking you out. Still don’t think we will qualify due to rain in Barbados and the fact West Indies pumped USA but just funny to see Australia loose.
As an Indian fan I really want a world cup without the aussies to be around in semifinals
I'm sure Josh will mend his ways once he reads this comment
The Aussies got another chance to derail the indians ambitions to be champions by defeating them and see Afghanistan beating Bangladesh and sending India back home
If this happens, the final word hosts will once again laugh at the face of the Indians as they did on Nov 19.
Not Happening, Indian Net Run Rate is High
When hatred and delusion are indistinguishable. NRR.
@@TheGohan09
In cricket anything can happen as we have seen in this WC with upsets and don’t ever forget Nov 19th when 99% were sure who will be the winner.
@@3_smh_3
Is India really playing very well not to lose big against Aust? I don’t think so plus the Aussies know they have to win and win big.
@@3_smh_3
By the way, if you were following this channel for very long time, you would have known that the two hosts don’t really like India and lean more towards Pakistan.
This is also true to UK channel like Wisden Cricket and most of their ex players like David Lloyd , Mark Butcher etc.
1 English team, 2 Asian teams and a Caribbean team...In to the Semis 😊
Maybe
How about 1 English , 1 African and 2 Asian teams
Did AFG level up yesterday ?, if not for Maxwell they would have level upped to semis
They've always threatened Australia
Bharat's analysis always seem boring and generic . Exact opposite of cam ponsonby
We strongly disagree
how the hell do you watch this world cup in Australia))
Amazon Prime
@@xamn2580 haha... didn't know that existed
Such a strange system these days... so much cricket on these days, I guess they thought I'd sign up to see Nepal vs italy at 5am in the morning
It's not upsate😂
I thought Group 1 was supposed to be easy, now India or Aus might get knocked out😂.
It's definitely made this group exciting again
The other group is tougher. WI and SA are both unbeaten like India, and Eng was resurgent. Poor USA is the minnow in that pond.
Aussies panicked when they couldn’t take wickets in first 15 overs
Understandable situation to hit the panic button
Perhaps AUS should have boycotted the game after all. 😉
I mean, they would have still handed the 2 points to Afghanistan, but lets not make a joke out the repression of 50% of Afghanistan's population
India kick out australia before semi😅
Looking pretty likely
Big upset in cricket history Afghanistan such a small team defeat Australia first time in entire history .
They've always troubled Australia
