India defeated Bangladesh by 50 runs.

Let us tell you that in this match, Team India won by 50 runs on the basis of all-round performance. Talking about the match, after losing the toss, the Indian team batted first and scored 196 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. Whereas when Bangladesh came out to chase a strong target given by India, it could score only 146 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs and had to face defeat by 50 runs in the match. So, on the defeat of Bangladesh team in this match, a big statement has come from the former captain and legendary all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib says that as a unit we were short of runs. Shakib Al Hasan gave a big statement After Bangladesh’s defeat against India, Shakib Al Hasan told reporters – As a batting unit, we are short of runs. We scored 140 runs in the last game, and today we scored 146 runs. We should have performed better today because we had a target in front of us. We couldn’t even show people that we were trying to chase the target today. I don’t think the team’s batting was confident, this is one area we have lacked throughout the World Cup. Shakib further said- You have to play your best game against teams like India and Australia. I think we lack skill and power. We could not even do the basic work to put pressure on the opposing team. We are capable of scoring big runs, and played well on the last two wickets.

After Afghanistan’s victory over Australia, 3 teams in Group 1 remain in the race for the semi-finals. AUS vs AFG (Photo Source: Getty Images) T20 World Cup Qualification Scenarios: In the Super 8 match of the ongoing T20 World Cup, held yesterday on 22 June, the Afghanistan cricket team has made a big upset by defeating the 2021 champion Australia. The Afghan team defeated the Kangaroo team by 21 runs on the basis of excellent bowling. Defending 149 runs in the match, Afghanistan bowled brilliantly and bundled out the opposition team for just 127 runs in 19.2 overs. So after this victory of the Afghan team, the race for the semi-finals in Super 8 Group 1 has become more exciting. The road to the semi-finals gets complicated India need to win their final Super 8 match against Australia to make it to the semi-finals, but a loss against Australia could complicate matters, especially if the margin of defeat is substantial. Team India’s net run rate is currently +2.425, but cricket is an unpredictable game, anything can happen here at any time. After this, Australia, which is in the group, will have to win against India in their last Super 8 match if they want to make it to the semi-finals. Australia’s run rate is currently +0.223 and they will also have to pray that Afghanistan does not win their next match against Bangladesh by a big margin. So Afghanistan, which has a net run rate of -0.650 at the moment, can also make it to the semi-finals, but for this it is very important for them to win their last Super 8 match against Bangladesh. Also, the margin of this victory should be sufficient, and India should beat Australia by a big margin. Apart from this, Bangladesh is also not completely out. Bangladesh has lost both the Super 8 matches played. Currently, its net run rate is -2.489 and to remain in the semi-finals, it will have to beat Afghanistan by a big margin, and pray that India beats Australia by a big margin.
