Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan tossed his weight behind Gulbadin Naib, who has been on the terminating line for purportedly faking a hamstring injury during a T20 World Cup Very Eight match against Bangladesh at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown on Tuesday. During the 12th over of Bangladesh’s chase, Rashid stated that Gulbadin “had some cramps” that caused him to lose his balance.
Many Cricketers Demand Ban Of Gulbadin Naib
The Afghanistan all-rounder’s demonstration drew serious analysis from different quarters as many, including observers Simon Doull, Pommie Mbangwa and current and previous cricketers Ravichandran Ashwin and Michael Vaughan, accepted Gulbadin Naib tumbled to the ground to sit around as Afghanistan were in front of Bangladesh in DLS standard score.
What Was The Full Matter?
The rain heightened when Noor Ahmed was partially through the twelfth of the Bangladesh innings. After the left-arm wrist spinner spun another wrong’un past Tanzim Sakib’s bat, the rain got heavier. Jonathan Trott, the head coach of Afghanistan, saw this and moved close to the boundary lines and made several hand gestures to get the Afghan fielders’ attention.
He even yelled: ” “Go slower!” requesting that the Afghanistan players control the speed of the game as they were in front of the DLS standard score by two runs. Afghanistan would have won and advanced to the semi-finals if the match had ended there and not resumed.
Standing at first slip, Gulbadin Naib unexpectedly grabbed his hamstring and fell to the ground as Noor was about to bowl the fifth ball of the over. The umpires requested covers due to the duration of this stoppage.
Gulbadin Was Seen Walking With His Team Mates
Gulbadin was seen walking off the field with the assistance of several his colleagues. But after five minutes, the rain stopped, and the players were back on the field. One over was deducted from Bangladesh’s innings and they got an updated focus of 114 rather than the first 116.
Afghanistan Defeats Bangladesh In Super 8
Eventually, Afghanistan won the match by eight runs through DLS technique as Naveen Ul Haq got consecutive wickets in the eighteenth over to polish off the match. This success took Afghanistan to their very first semi-last in every World Cup and furthermore took Australia out of the competition.
