Selva with a reminder: "If India beat Australia and Bangladesh defeat Afghanistan by a big margin, Bangladesh qualifies!" -- yes, all four teams are in contention! Just 20 minutes ago we were discussing whether the last two games would be dead-rubbers, guess we all spoke too soon. This result has turned the group on its head!

11.58pm Afghanistan dominate over Australia with bat, ball and on the field. They are alive in this T20 World Cup, and Australia are now at risk of being eliminated if they lose to India later next week! Afghanistan, meanwhile, can make the semis if they win over Bangladesh and Australia lose to India. Group 1 is well and truly alive after this 20-run win, a significant margin in T20s. Afghanistan's final game is after Australia's, so they'll clearly know what margins they need to win by later. For now, let's focus on today, and what a remarkable win this has been.Only one Australia batter went past a dozen runs, and if you take Maxwell's 59 out of the picture, it paints a sorry picture. Excellent use of the bowlers by Afghanistan today, not necessarily relying on their spinners like Noor and Nabi, but instead deciding their bowlers according to the conditions. Their eighth-used bowler, Gulbadin Naib, finishes with the best figures of the night with 4-20, and Cummins' hat-trick is a mere footnote now.And here's Gulbadin Naib, the POTM: Thanks to dear Allah. We've waited for a long time. Big moment for our nation and our people. I have no words to say but thanks to the fans who have supported us in our career and cricket journey. I learnt from the batting innings on how to bowl. Thanks to Rashid for trusting me. It's a whole team effort, Rahmanullah, Zadran, and also Naveen for the momentum. Thank God we finally beat Australia. It is a great achievement for Afghanistan, we have achieved many things in last ten years but this is a big achievement. In the last World Cup we played well and in this World Cup we beat New Zealand too. Australia are a champion side so for us it is a big tournament. Lucky to have this kind of team and management. (Bangladesh next at this ground) At the start of the tournament, we focused on each game. Every game is important for us. Bangladesh are a good team, we can rest tomorrow and we'll think about it." He also says mubarak to his fans in Pashto along with a personalised msg
