Afghanistan has made history by advancing to their first-ever T20 World Cup semi-final, following a dramatic eight-run victory over Bangladesh in a rain-affected match at Arnos Vale Stadium in St. Vincent on Monday.

Defending a modest total of 115 for five on a bowler-friendly pitch, Afghan captain Rashid Khan overcame three rain delays, a slippery ball, and a revised target of 114 off 19 overs to take four wickets for 23 runs. Bangladesh, who also had faint hopes of reaching the last four, were dismissed for 105 off 17.5 overs.
