Afghanistan who are going to play their first-ever semi final in an ICC tournament came into the semi final with an emphatic victory over Australia and a close fought, low scoring win over Bangladesh in the Super Eights will come into the semi-final, highly motivated and confident with how their campaign has gone so far.
