On Tuesday, June 25, Afghanistan vs Bangladesh will lock horns against each other in a crucial Super Eight fixture with semifinal implications. This high-octane clash will be held at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent.
Afghanistan have two points from as many games in Group 1 so far. They lost to India by 47 runs in Barbados before registering a famous win against mighty Australia by 21 runs in St Vincent. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are yet to register a point as they suffered defeats in Antigua against Australia and India by 28 runs (DLS method) and 50 runs respectively.
Both teams will be watching the match between India and Australia on Monday quite carefully. If Australia win the match, it will knock Bangladesh out of the competition and Afghanistan will have to register a huge win to take their net run rate above that of Australia. However, if India beat the Aussies, both Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be honing in on the one spot that will be left in the semis. A win will be enough for the Blue Tigers, while the Bangla Tigers will have to defeat Rashid Khan’s men by a massive margin to progress further.

Probable Best Performers of the match
Probable Best Batter: Rahmanullah Gurbaz
The flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter has been in stupendous form in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. He is the highest run-getter so far, having amassed 238 runs from six matches at an average of 39.67 and a strike rate of 141.67. If Gurbaz gets going and forms a partnership with Ibrahim Zadran, Afghanistan become way more dangerous than they already are.
Probable Best Bowler: Fazalhaq Farooqi
The left-arm pacer is leading the charts for wicket-takers in the showpiece event. In six matches, he has taken 15 wickets at an average of 8.93. The Bangladesh openers have struggled so far in the tournament and they will have their task cut out against the in-form Afghan seamer.
