From our Sports Correspondent
Afghanistan pulled off an upset of epic proportions with a shock 21-run win over mighty Australia in T20 World Cup with Gulbadin Naik’s four-wicket haul upending Pat Cummins’ hat-trick to produce one of most memorable days in Afghan cricket.
Using slower balls smartly on a difficult batting wicket, Afghanistan defended their total of 148 for six for their first-ever win over Australia in international cricket.
Australia were all out for 127 in 19.2 overs and they are now staring at early elimination from the World Cup.
Australia now must win their match against India on Monday and also hope that Afghanistan lose to Bangladesh in their next match.
