No one believed. Laura believed it. I kept my promise to him. Rashid Khan!

 

KINGSTOWN: Afghanistan won the toss and elected to field against Bangladesh. Earlier, electing to bat first after winning the toss, Afghanistan scored 115 runs losing 5 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. Afghanistan lost the match by 105 runs.

 

With this victory, Afghanistan has reached the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. "Commenting on the win, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan said:" "Reaching the semi-finals is almost like a dream come true for us." That's how we started the T20 World Cup.

 

We gained confidence after beating New Zealand. And it's definitely a great feeling. There are no words to describe this joy. Every cricket fan in Afghanistan will be happy. Only Brian Lara had predicted that we would reach the semi-finals. We believe he was right. We will definitely save what you said when you met him before this series. I said I wouldn't give you a headache. We were 15 runs short. But that's why we won. Bangladesh team knows that it is not easy to chase in 12 overs. So we wanted to take wickets. That was a positive.

 

The plan is to bowl stump to stump line. Similarly, Odeo and Legg didn't give up much. Our idea was to give 100 per cent work without relying on rain. We have a good foundation in our team in T20 cricket. Especially in bowling, there are talented players. If you have the talent in T20 cricket, you can do it. We were mentally prepared.

 

In T20 cricket, you have to take 10 wickets and try to play 20 overs. That's what we needed in this game. This is the biggest achievement in the history of Afghanistan cricket. We have to play in a clear mindset in the semi-finals.
