Well well
Afghanistan beat Aus for the first time ever
Aus World Cup hopes looking shaky now.
Seeing @Virgil doesn’t log in much anymore I’ll be the one to tag @NTA

At some point you just get tired of winning cricket trophies, and take your eye off the ball. It happens.

I feel slightly better about our loss to them, now.
When I saw that result flash up, I thought itwould have been the Afghan spinners that did the damage, but seems it's the medium-fast guys!
Puts some doubt into my expectation that Oz and India were cruising inevitably to another final.
India now has a chance to send them home early. I'd suggest they take it!

@Duluth yeah I was annoyed at that timing. If it rains and Afghanistan beat the Bangles then the Aussies are going home. That'd be some tournament for the Afghans.

Big, big, big win for India.
And a huge, huge, huge defeat for Australia. They were well beaten.
India will top the group and will play England in the Semi Final.
If Afghanistan beat Bangladesh they go through or if there is rain. Afghanistan might even go through with a very narrow defeat. A big Bangladesh win might see them in second place.

Will definitely have that game playing in the background today with a bit of history on the line. Knocking the Aussies out to make your first SF is the stuff of fairy tales.

Afghans have posted just 115.
It's been raining since and the outfield is wet. Cricinfo say if it's a 15-over game Bangladesh will have to get 94 in 7.2 overs to make it to the semis.
If they get back on, they'll surely go for it and I suspect this isn't an easy pitch, so wicket might tumble.
