Afghanistan Cricket Team (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan had to face defeat by 9 wickets against South Africa in the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, the culprits for Afghanistan’s defeat were their batsmen, as the team was all out for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind this was something else, which was mentioned by former great England cricketer Michael Vaughan as soon as the match started. Vaughan had posted on social media that Afghanistan’s team could lose due to two reasons. This is what happened. After Afghanistan’s defeat, Michael Vaughan’s tweet is going viral like fire. Fans are also giving their reactions on that tweet. Michael Vaughan tweeted before the first semi-final match In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan had posted a post and wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in St Vincent on Monday night. Their flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. So they did not get time to practice nor could they get used to the new place. I am afraid there is a complete lack of respect for the players.” In this way, he has targeted the ICC without naming it, because the schedule is made by the ICC. Let us tell you that earlier Rohit Sharma had also given his opinion about the schedule made by the ICC. So Afghanistan qualify for the WC semi winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players i am afraid .. #T20WorldCup2024 — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 After the last match against Bangladesh, Afghanistan had to catch a flight in the afternoon, but the flight was four hours late. So the flight arrived late at night and they did not get time to practice. The next day they had to play in the semi-final match and this proved to be costly for the team. You will remember that many teams had raised questions on the schedule even at the beginning of the tournament. In this way, if it is said that the reason behind this poor performance of Afghanistan is the schedule of ICC, then it will not be wrong.
“Now I am responsible for the remaining 10 players… Babar Azam made a big allegation, gave a statement on leaving the captaincy
Babar Azam said that the performance of the Pakistan team will be reviewed after returning home. Babar admitted that his team did not play well and fell behind in ‘close matches’.

Interestingly, the Pakistan team lost in the Super Over against the USA. After which they had to accept defeat by 6 runs from the Indian team. Then Babar’s army won decisive victories against Canada and Ireland. But it was not enough to reach the Super 8 round. Now captain Babar Azam has reacted after the Pakistan team was eliminated from the T20 World Cup. The team will be reviewed once we return home: Babar Azam Pakistan captain Babar Azam is very disappointed after being eliminated before the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2024. Babar Azam said that the performance of the Pakistan team will be reviewed after returning home. Babar admitted that his team did not play well and fell behind in ‘close matches’. Will Babar Azam resign from captaincy? “When I stepped down from captaincy (in 2023), I thought I shouldn’t do this anymore and I announced it myself. Then when they gave me back the captaincy, it was the PCB’s decision, not mine. “When I go back we will discuss what has happened here. And if I have to step down from captaincy I will announce it openly. I will not hide anything. Whatever happens will be out in the open. But for now, I have not thought about it. It is ultimately the PCB’s decision.” ‘Will I play in place of the other 10 players?’: Babar Azam On not being able to reach Super 8, Babar Azam said- “Everyone is sad. We did not play as a team. I told you that we did not lose because of one player. We lost as a team. I am not saying this because of any one person. You are saying that we lost because of the captain. Will I now play in place of the other 10 players?” “There are 11 players in the team and everyone has their own role so they came here to play the World Cup, I think as a team we failed. So we have to stay calm. Also we have to accept that as a team we did not perform well.”
“ICC is responsible for Pakistan’s exclusion from T20 World Cup 2024”- Rashid Latif’s shocking statement
Let us tell you that Pakistan got out of the group stage of T20 World Cup 2024 after the Ireland and USA match was canceled due to rain. Team India and USA have qualified for Super 8 from Group A. Pakistan team had lost to these two teams. After this the team was criticized a lot. Every former cricketer and cricket expert of Pakistan slammed Babar Azam and company. Meanwhile, former captain Rashid Latif has given a different statement. He has blamed the ICC for Pakistan’s exit from the group stage. He has supported the Pakistan team and targeted the International Cricket Council (ICC) saying that the conditions are not good for the World Cup. Rashid Latif blamed ICC for Pakistan’s defeat Speaking to Cricbuzz, Rashid Latif said, “You can’t blame the Pakistani players for everything. They performed well, but the pitch conditions neutralised their efforts. They should have won both the matches against the USA and India, but the circumstances were beyond their control. It has happened that scoring runs has become difficult. See, even a batsman like Virat Kohli is not able to score runs.” Latif further said that the ICC is responsible for Pakistan’s team not reaching the Super 8. He further said that the bad conditions are not only in America but also in the Caribbean countries. Latif said, individual half-centuries are not too many. No team has scored a half-century against a team like Afghanistan. If a batsman scores a half-century then the team mostly wins. Rishabh Pant scored 42 runs and India defeated Pakistan. The conditions are not ideal for the World Cup.

In this match, Rajasthan Royals easily won against Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets. Batting first, Lucknow Super Giants scored 196 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Rajasthan Royals achieved this target in 19 overs by losing only 3 wickets. Assistant coach Lance Klusener gave statement on Lucknow’s defeat After their disappointing performance by Lucknow Supergiants against Rajasthan in Ekana, assistant coach Lance Klusener expressed concern about this. He was certain about the kind of performance they needed to deliver if they were to go on to win the IPL. He said that LSG bowlers lacked execution, who could not put the ball in the right place. He also suggested that the team was 10-15 runs short. In the post-match press conference, Klusener was the first to point out that Akana has never seen big scores, so it is not fair to compare conditions and stadiums, as it has become common for teams to score big this year. Klusener said, ‘I think we just need to be a little more clinical. I think winning the IPL means teams have to ensure that they are on top in everything – batting, bowling, fielding. Klusener further said, ‘We have to make sure we put all those little things together to go deep into the playoff battle later this month. We can neither bat well nor bowl well or field well. So, we just need to make sure we put it all together.’ When will Mayank Yadav return to the team? Klusener also gave a small update on Mayank Yadav’s absence and said, ‘You will see Mayank in the team soon.’

Tilak Verma played a brilliant inning of 63 runs while Pandya also played a good inning of 46 runs. But the team failed to win due to losing wickets at regular intervals. Who is the reason for the team’s defeat? Explaining the reason for the team’s defeat, Pandya said- “The game is becoming more competitive these days. Earlier the margin of victory used to be of a few overs, now it is the difference of the ball. If I had to pick one reason where we missed the match, I would say we took risks and scored runs in the middle overs. But left-handed batsmen should have batted against Axar Patel. It didn’t work out for us game-wise. Jake Fraser McGurk played very well, taking risks with the bat and using the ground well. His innings reflects his fearlessness.” Tilak held guilty of defeat Hardik Pandya was referring to Tilak Verma. Let us tell you that he scored the most runs for Mumbai and as soon as he got out, the team’s hopes ended. But Hardik in his gestures made him responsible for the defeat. If you pay attention to Hardik’s statement, he said- “If I had to win some matches, we could have taken a little more risk in our overs. Especially the left-handed batsmen could have gone a little more behind the letter. It was a bit of a mistake from a match point of view.”
