How did the AFG vs AUS match flip?
Australia chose to bowl first on a wicket where teams bowling first had lost three times in the competition after winning the toss that day. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz started out slowly before picking up the pace. Together, they put on a 118-run stand that gave Afghanistan hope for a high score. However, Australia was able to re-enter the game after Gurbaz’s wicket caused an enormous collapse.
Afghanistan slumped from 118 for 1 to 148 for 6 at the end of the innings as Pat Cummins claimed a record hat-trick. Wickets began to fall at regular intervals. Travis Head’s dismissal for a duck and Mitchell Marsh‘s dismal form gave the Aussie run chase the worst possible start.
With a solid score of 59, Glenn Maxwell would keep Australia in the hunt, but Gulbadin Naib took 4 wickets for 20 runs, and wickets continued to fall at the other end. Australia would eventually give up for 127 runs, giving Afghanistan yet another significant victory in the tournament.

Do not disrespect Afghanistan by calling this an upset. Afg are good enough to beat any team on their day. They played to their potential today and defeated a very good Aus team.
