Preview: The 2024 T20 World Cup will undoubtedly pique attention not only in North America, but around the world, with entertaining games and both Super Eights groups coming down to the wire!
When India crushed Bangladesh on Saturday, it appeared like Group 1 would end in a dull fashion, and a win for Australia over Afghanistan would have meant that the two giants, India and Australia, would have already secured their spots in the semi-finals. But it wasn’t to be, and depending on how India and Australia play out before of this game on Monday, Afghanistan could go into this game knowing that a win will be enough to advance them to the semi-finals.
T20 World Cup 2024, 52nd Match, AFG vs BAN
Venue: Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent
Date & Time: Tuesday, June 25, 6:00 AM
Pitch Report: The entire game is expected to be cloudy, and there is a chance of rain in the latter stages. Nevertheless, with a high of nearly 28 degrees, it will be hot and muggy throughout.St. Vincent’s surface is sticky, so slower balls from the pacers will cause problems for hitters, and the spinners will have a lot of influence as well. We witnessed just 275 runs scored overall in Australia’s match against Afghanistan on Saturday, so we anticipate it will be difficult to surpass a first-inning total of 150.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI
Afghanistan (AFG): Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (c), Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Nangeyalia Kharote, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi
