However, Afghan boys could not bring their game and to Front against Bangladesh and Sri LankaThis resulted in their premature elimination. This will end their brilliant run in multinational events recently, where they questioned the best teams and registered a remarkable victory.
The Afghanistanian cricket has been growing since they reached the T20 2024 World Cup semifinals after defeating Australia. Since June 2024 they won 11 out of 19 T20is, who had a better percentage of victories than Pakistan and South Africa in the same period of time.

Had a great chance to chase 150 vs Bangladesh: Rashid
“Abu Dhabi offers a spinning gates that are completely different from Dubai. It’s much more friendly goal goal. Yet if you play a good cricket and do good shots, I feel that we can chase the sums around 170-180. They moved and moved.

“Over the Last Three Years, We’ve Played and Lot of ICC Events and Asia Cups and We’ve Had Great Preparation for Every Big Competition. I Was Expecting More From the Boys in This Tournament TRAINED REALLY WELL, AND THE GOAL WAS TO Least Reach the Next Round, Like the Semi-Final We Made in the Last T20 World Cup.
After the Asian Cup Afghanistan turns his attention to the three -capable T20i series against Bangladesh, starting on October 2. Then he will perform in November in the T20i Tri-Series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The Afghan side, which is determined to bounce, will eagerly prove that their failure in Asia was just a niche and that they remain able to push and even overthrow the best teams in the world.
