On June 25, there was a tough competition between Afghanistan and Bangladesh (AFG vs BAN) to get a ticket to the semi-finals. Both the teams gave their all to capture the match. Meanwhile, the team led by Rashid Khan was seen going to any extent to register a win. In the AFG vs BAN match, on the instructions of the head coach, a player of the team did such an act, after which Afghanistan is being accused of 'cheating'. Let us know in detail what is this whole matter….

AFG vs BAN: Afghanistan cheated to win!

• The last match of the Super Eight of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was played between Bangladesh and Afghanistan team. This match was very important for Afghanistan and Bangladesh as well as Australia in terms of securing a place in the semi-finals.
• However, Rashid Khan and company won by eight runs and secured a ticket to the semi-finals. But the Afghan team was seen crossing all limits to win this match.
• An incident was witnessed in the AFG vs BAN match which hurt the spirit of the game. Batting first, Afghanistan set a target of 116 runs. In the reply innings, Bangladesh team had a good start amid rain.

Afghanistan team accused of dishonesty

• But the match was stopped several times due to weather. Despite this, Liton Das stood on the field like a rock and kept Bangladesh's dream of reaching the semi-finals alive.
• In such a situation, Afghanistan team's hopes were linked to rain. When Noor came to bowl an important over in the 12th over, head coach Jonathan Trott signaled the players about rain.
• Seeing this, it seemed as if he was asking the players to slow down the match. After this, Gulbadin Naib, who was fielding, suddenly fell on the ground holding his leg while standing and acted as if he had a hamstring injury.
• Looking at Gulbadin, it seemed that he was in a lot of pain. So the physio came on the field and his (Gulbadin Naib) fellow player Naveen Ul Haq was seen taking him out of the ground. In his place, Najibullah Zadran was brought in for fielding.

Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals

• Captain Rashid Khan did not look happy at all with Gulbadin Naib's exit from the match. On the other hand, Bangladesh batsman Liton Das also imitated Gulbadin Naib.
• The surprising thing was that Guldeep Naib came on the field in the 13th over and in the 15th over he bowled and sent Tanzim Hasan to the pavilion. In such a situation, allegations like cheating and dishonesty are being leveled against the Afghanistan team.
• Fans say that Gulbadin Naib did this to win the match. Because if the match was cancelled due to rain again, then under the DLS method, Bangladesh would have lost by two runs.
