In Match No. 52 of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan posted a defendable score of 115/5 against Bangladesh in their Super Eight encounter.

Chasing the target, Bangladesh struggled from the outset, as they lost early wickets and failed to build any momentum. The situation worsened for them in the 3rd over when they lost their captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, cheaply. 

Shanto mistimed a shot on the leg side, which resulted in a simple catch for Mohammad Nabi at deep midwicket. Naveen-ul-Haq bowled a slower delivery on the stumps with his fingers rolled over the ball to deceive him. 

He attempted to heave it into the leg side but only managed to hit it straight to Nabi, who moved to his left and took an easy catch.

This early breakthrough provided significant delight for the Afghan team, putting Bangladesh under pressure as they chased a modest yet tricky target.

Soon after Najmul Hossain's wicket, Naveen-ul-Haq took another scalp of Shakib Al Hasan. Thus, his twin strikes helped the Afghans make a comeback in the game. 

At the time of writing, the match has been again interrupted by the rain, with Bangladesh in troubled waters.
