Darvesh Bhola

Bangladesh has secured a spot in the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup 2024 after a thrilling 21-run victory over Nepal. In today’s match, Bangladesh’s bowlers were exceptional, with Tanzim Hasan taking 4 wickets for just 7 runs, Mustafizur Rahman claiming 3 wickets for 7 runs, and Shakib Al Hasan grabbing 2 wickets for 9 runs.

Their stellar performance helped Bangladesh defend a low total of 106 runs, which is the lowest score ever defended in Men’s T20 World Cup history. This win made Bangladesh the eighth and final team to advance to the Super 8s, where they will face India, Australia, and Afghanistan in Group 1.

Bangladesh batted first and faced early challenges, with Sompal Kami striking on the first ball and limiting them to 106 runs in 19.3 overs, their lowest total against an associate nation in T20 World Cups. Nepal’s Sandeep Lamichhane achieved a milestone of 100 wickets in T20 internationals during this match.

Nepal’s bowlers performed well, with Sompal Kami, Dipendra Singh Airee, Rohit Paudel, and Sandeep Lamichhane each taking two wickets. In their chase, Nepal managed only 85 runs in 19.2 overs. They were in deep trouble early, reduced to 26 for 5, but a 57-run partnership between Dipendra Singh Airee, who scored 25, and Kushal Malla, who added 27, provided some resistance before they were eventually bowled out.
