New Delhi. Australia benefited from the canceled match due to rain between Afghanistan and Australia (Australia vs Afghanistan) and entered the semi -finals gracefully. Australian captain Steve Smith (Steve Smith) praised his bowlers after entering the semi -finals with the cancellation of rainfed match against Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy.
Smith said after the match, “We wanted to stay in the top two and reach the semi -finals. Our bowlers performed well and took wickets. He did his work well by stopping Afghanistan around 270. Some runs went extra but overall performance will be said to be good. It is shameful that the match washed in the rain.
Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi said, “Unfortunately the result of the match could not come out. It was a good match. We should have scored more than 300 runs but he bowled well in the middle overs. ”Let us know that it is almost impossible for Afghanistan to reach the semi -finals. The equation is that England will have to defeat South Africa by a big margin. Only then Afghanistan will be able to reach the semi -finals.
In response to the target of 274 runs for victory, Australia scored 109 runs for one wicket in 12.5 overs when it started raining. The match was finally canceled after two hours of delay. Australia gave 37 runs, including 17 wide, but despite this, Smith defended the bowlers.
