Naveen-ul-Haq to Litton Das, FOUR! Streaky but will do nicely for Litton Das and Bangladesh. Pitched up well wide of the off stump, Das goes after it and gets a big top edge that flies down to deep third for a boundary.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Litton Das, SIX! Wow, that has been crunched! Wider on the crease and angled back in on a fuller length around off. Litton Das is quick to walk past the off stump and whacks the ball well beyond deep mid-wicket for 91-meter biggie.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Tanzid Hasan, OUT! LBW! A lovely inswinger from Fazalhaq Farooqi and after a prolonged appeal, the umpire's finger goes up for the LBW. Tanzid Hasan has a long chat with Litton Das and reviews it at the last second. Getting to the delivery, Farooqi bowls it on a good length around off stump and gets the ball to just nip back in quickly after pitching. Tanzid with a wild hoick across the line doesn't get even near it. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds and the onfield decision is upheld. Farooqi now has the most wickets ever in a single T20 World Cup as he picks up his 16th of the tournament.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR! Nicely struck! Just short of a good length around off and in the hitting arc, Najmul Hossain Shanto gets across a bit and pulls it flat towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Afghanistan have their second wicket. Naveen-ul-Haq stays around the wicket and pitches the ball up on the off stump line. Najmul Hossain Shanto stays back and looks to drag the slog over deep mid-wicket but gets no timing on it whatsoever. The ball flies down to Mohammad Nabi in the deep and he makes no mistake with an easy grab.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Naveen-ul-Haq manages to hang on and he's got two in two! Slower delivery, floated up at the stumps, Shakib Al Hasan leans on and looks to flick across the line but closes the bat's face way too early. The ball goes off the leading edge and back to the bowler who shows good reflexes on the follow-through and after parrying the ball on the first attempt, keeps his cool to snaffle it on the second attempt. Afghan players are all pumped and why not? Naveen-ul-Haq has just provided an inroad for his team and is on a hat-trick now. Bangladesh is a spot of bother now.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR! Picked-up and dispatched! Fazalhaq Farooqi serves a bit of a half-volley on the pads, Soumya Sarkar takes it on and flicks it high and in front of square on the leg side for a boundary.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Litton Das, FOUR! Good shot! Litton Das comes down the pitch and Naveen-ul-Haq bangs it in short and outside off. Das does well to reach the ball and uppercuts it over the backward point region for a handy boundary.

Rashid Khan to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Rashid Khan strikes in his first over and Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket now. A conventional leg break on a shortish length, it skids through quickly, right in the front of the wickets. Soumya Sarkar is caught off guard as the ball comes too quickly after pitching and he fails to connect to the tuck across towards the leg side. The ball breaks into the stumps sneaking past the willow's edge.

Mohammad Nabi to Towhid Hridoy, FOUR! Oh, another error in the field and the luck is going Bangladesh's way. This is flighted up on a length on the stumps, Towhid Hridoy sits down to sweep again but gets a top edge that goes over short third. Noor Ahmad chases it down and slides in to pull it back in but fumbles and the ball trickles into the fence.

Mohammad Nabi to Towhid Hridoy, FOUR! Gets one off the middle of the bat now. Tossed up in the slot and on the stumps, Towhid Hridoy gets down on one knee and smacks it one-bounce and over the ropes between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for four more.

Rashid Khan to Towhid Hridoy, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Rashid does it again. He is such a key weapon for this Afghan outfit! Bowls a flipper on a fullish length, it skids and bounces as well around off, Towhid Hridoy premeditates and sits down on his knee to slog it over but hits it with no real timing on it and against the wind. As a result, the ball hangs up and swirls high in the air and carries towards deep mid-wicket region where Ibrahim Zadran runs in a couple of yards and takes a good catch. This is Rashid's 150th T20I wicket.

Rashid Khan to Mahmudullah, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a review! No one other than the keeper was sure about it but Rashid Khan took the risk and it paid off big time. Rashid tosses the ball up full and around off, it is the wrong'un that dips and turns in a bit. Mahmudullah looks to reach out and hammers it through covers but is beaten past the outside edge. The substitute keeper, Mohammad Ishaq pouches it and appeals but it is turned down. The third umpire is called in and there is a spike on UltraEdge.

Rashid Khan to Rishad Hossain, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rashid Khan, you beauty! The Afghan skipper might be single-handedly dragging them into the semifinals here, what an effort. Rashid dishes out yet another googly and floats it up on the off stump. Rishad Hossain sits down to swipe across the line but is beaten all ends up by the turn into him and Rishad hears the death rattle behind him. Afghanistan on top of proceedings now.

Gulbadin Naib to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Gulbadin Naib with the golden arm! What a belter of a game this is turning out to be! Gulbadin Naib bangs it short and over the top of off, Tanzim Hasan Sakib stands tall in his crease and goes for a cross-batted shot and opens up in his stance. He is quite late on the shot and slices the ball in the air off the outer half of the bat and straight to the safe hands of Mohammad Nabi stationed at covers.

Noor Ahmad to Litton Das, FOUR! What a crucial boundary this is! Litton Das gets his hard fought 50. He stands between Afghanistan and their aspirations. Full and on the stumps, Litton Das cashes onto it and sweeps it through deep backward square leg for a boundary.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! CHOPPED ON! NAVEEN-UL-HAQ, YOU BEAUTY! Afghanistan is just a solitary wicket now from the qualification! Naveen-ul-Haq bowls a deceptive slower one from around the stumps and pitches it around off, and nips back it a bit as well. It keeps low and skids through quickly. Taskin Ahmed is deep in his crease and swipes it across the line but gets a thickish inside edge that dismantles the furniture. A sea of raw emotions in the Afghan camp! This game has swung to and fro keeping us all on the edge of the seats.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT! LBW! AFGHANISTAN HAVE DONE IT! THEY HAVE TURNED THE TABLES UPSIDE DOWN FROM HAVING BACKS AGAINST WALL! They came, they dreamt, they executed and they got the desired result! They defeated the Kiwis, executed an audacious heist against the Aussies and now they are through by defeating Bangladesh in the most historic manner! The celebrations begin from Kabul to Kandahar as Afghanistan advances to the semifinals for the first ever time in the T20 World Cup history. A glorious day for Afghanistan cricket. Naveen-ul-Haq spears in a fuller-length delivery which angles back into the batter from the off stump line, Mustafizur Rahman is rooted in the crease and is trapped on the front foot and gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball takes the whisker of the inside edge and pings his front pad. Mustafizur Rahman goes upstairs. UltraEdge comes up and shows that there's no nick when the ball passes through the inside edge. Ball Tracking confirms three reds. OUT it is and Afghanistan creates history by winning this game by 8 runs by DLS method and this means, Australia is officially eliminated from this ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
