NEW DELHI: After Afghanistan's thrilling victory over Bangladesh in their final Super Eight match, which secured their first-ever spot in the ICC T20 World Cup semifinals, questions have arisen regarding Gulbadin Naib's cramp in the 12th over.
This unusual incident occurred when Bangladesh, chasing a revised target of 114 in 19 overs, were at 81 for 7. Noting that Afghanistan was ahead on the DLS count at that point, coach Jonathan Trott signaled the players to slow down the game. Just before the next ball of the 12th over, slip fielder Gulbadin Naib suddenly dropped to the ground, clutching his hamstring.
