Afghanistan created history by defeating Bangladesh in the last Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. With an 8-run win over Bangladesh, the Afghan team reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. With this victory, Bangladesh and Australia were eliminated from the T20 World Cup. However, a big controversy has arisen over Afghanistan's victory. Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa has made a sensational allegation of dishonesty on the Afghan team through gestures.

Why is Afghanistan being accused of dishonesty?

Actually, during Bangladesh's innings, it suddenly started raining in the 12th over. During this, Afghan head Jonathan Trott signaled his team players to slow down the match. Noor Ahmed was bowling and he had bowled four balls. But before he could bowl the fifth ball, Gulbadin Naib, who was standing in the slip, suddenly fell down. He sat down holding his leg. Gulbadin Naib has been accused of fake injury. Adam Jampa believes that he did all this to stop the match. However, Simon Doull, who was doing commentary, was also seen raising questions on this. As soon as Gulbadin fell down, Afghanistan's physio came on the field and then the match stopped due to rain. Till this time, Bangladesh was behind according to Duckworth Lewis rule.

Adam Zampa raised questions

However, when the rain stopped, Gulbadin Naib came back on the field and he also bowled. Not only this, when Afghanistan won, he was running the fastest on the field. This is the reason why Australian players and supporters are angry with this. The interesting thing is that when Gulbadin Naib was doing all this on the field, captain Rashid Khan also appeared angry with him. However, later he was seen saying that the match was not affected due to Gulbadin Naib. But if Gulbadin has faked an injury, then action can be taken against him.
