Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Afghanistan will look to qualify for an ICC showpiece semifinal when they lock horns with Bangladesh in St Vincent on Tuesday. The equation for Afghanistan is simple: Win and they go through at the expense of Australia, who lost to India on Monday.
Australia, meanwhile, will be rooting for Bangladesh to win but not by a big margin because the Tigers are still alive in the tournament. If Bangladesh win by more than 62 runs after scoring 150, then they can overtake the Aussies. Any smaller margin of Bangladesh win, then the 2021 champions sneak through.
Afghanistan, though, are favourites win a shock win against Australia in their last Super 8 match while Bangladesh are yet to win a single match in the Super 8s, losing to India as well as Australia.
