[Watch] Naveen-ul-Haq traps Mustafizur Rahman LBW to send Afghanistan into the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup 

Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq accounted for the final wicket of the crucial 2024 T20 World Cup Super 8 clash against Bangladesh to send his side into the semifinals. Naveen dismissed Mustafizur Rahman in the penultimate over for a golden duck as Bangladesh were bowled out for 105 runs at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St.Vincent on Monday, June 24.

Bangladesh were marginally ahead of the DLS par score in the 19th over, but Taskin Ahmed's wicket turned the calculations on its head. Mustafizur Rahman came out at No. 11 with nine runs required off eight deliveries. The rain made a brief appearance before Rahman could take the strike, but no overs were lost and the target remained the same.

Naveen-ul-Haq opted to bowl a full and straight delivery from around the wicket, which Rahman failed to deal with. There was no contact with the bat as the ball struck him straight on the front pad. The umpire had no hesitation in giving it out, leading to wild celebrations in the Afghanistan camp.

Bangladesh did go upstairs for a review, but it was a futile attempt, as it only made the on-field decision more obvious.

Have a look at the historic moment right here:

Naveen was adjudged Player of the Match for his match-winning spell of 4-26 in 3.5 overs.

The win not only confirms Afghanistan's berth in the semifinals but also results in Australia's elimination.
