Earlier Bangladesh lost by 28 runs against Australia on DLS method and India won by 47 runs against Afghanistan.
India scored 195 runs against Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua North Sound, Caribbean Islands, in reply to which Bangladesh managed to score 145 runs.
India's Hardik Pandya played an innings of 50 runs from just 27 balls to set up a big score for India, later with a wicket in hand, the all-rounder was awarded the man of the match award.
In this match, questions have been raised about Bangladesh team's toss decision, batting style and XI selection.
Afghanistan beat Australia by 21 runs, open race to semis at T20 World Cup
Afghanistan celebrated a historic night in their cricket history when they beat Australia by 21 runs in their Super Eight clash at the T20 World Cup 2024 in Saint Vincent.
The win on Saturday night was Afghanistan’s first ever against the 2021 T20 champions and six-time 50-over champions which also gave them a chance of qualifying for the semifinals.
Naib took four wickets in his four overs and gave away only 20 runs as Mitchell Marsh’s side was all out for 127 in 19.2 overs in their chase of 149.
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, whose heroics took Australia to an unlikely win against the same opponents at the 50-over World Cup in November, threatened to take the game away from Afghanistan once again until Naib dismissed him in the 15th over to set off a procession of Australian wickets.
Maxwell’s 59 runs off 41 balls was the highest score for Australia by a big margin. Marsh (12 runs) and Marcus Stoinis (11 runs) were the only other batters who managed to put on double-figure scores.
Naib also took the crucial wickets of Stoinis, lower-order batter Tim David and big-hitting bowler Pat Cummins.
