Imagine a team defending 115 in a T20 match, captivating the Cricket World. The Super 8s came to an end today in one of the greatest Climaxes in Cricket World Cup History. Australia, after being tipped up by Afghanistan and suffocated by India. Required Bangladesh of all teams to beat Afghanistan. Afghanistan needed to win to qualify and what made this even more interesting, if Bangladesh won by e...

Wowee Afghanistan has made the Super 8s very interesting. After their incredible performance against Australia where now they can beat Bangladesh and make the semis they have blown the Group with Australia and India wide open.
