They should have gone for high risk after they were out due to equation. No point dragging till last over. Instead Litton should have gone for the kill with 2 wickets in hands.
Now Afgan players will raise the mocking levels even more after knocking Aussies out.

[RollinWheels]

The more I watch Afganistan, the more I love them. What a team!! Hope they perform well in the semis.

Also, i am in awe of Rohit. He absolutely massacred the Australian bowlers yesterday.

[ValarMorghulis]

what.a.match!!!

Afghanistan absolutely deserve this win after defeating New Zealand AND Australia!

I hope it is Ind vs Afg in the finals and India win

Divided by Nations.

United by our JOY of kicking Aussies out of Tournament.

We are all AFGHAN BOYS Today.

Good result. AFG is a good team.
B'desh cricket team is just like the diesel auto- they make hell lot of noise, chuck a lot of diesel, emit tons of smoke but doesn't go beyond 30KMPH. Aggression backed without talent.

This match reminds me of Tom and Jerry. Our on-screen sympathies lie on one side but in real life, we feel and wish for the exact opposite.

The permutations of next stage qualification always confuse me; the DLS factor make it muddier and murkier.

[AtheK]

Awesome match, Afghanistan showed lot of heart and congratulations to them on this win, totally deserved. I hope they put up a similar fight in SF and take the game deep with SA.

Finally we played a big role in taking Australia out, and it is satisfying.

[VWAllstar]

Best match of this WC so far. Afghanistan are a threat and I feel they will choke SA in the semis. Meanwhile, please give Oscars to Gulabdin Naib.

[SoumenD]

Phew!!! Who would believe these guys don’t even have a home ground in their country. India has been instrumental in bringing this team up and kudos to the afghan boys for showing sheer grit and determination to make a mark on the big stage.

Adios kangaroos!!! See you next time.

As much as I want Afghanistan to make it to finals, we will mostly have an Ind vs SA final. There’s no other way you can see either one of these chokers lift the cup. Like I mentioned earlier: The clash of Chokers is on

Now time to avenge the last T20 WC semi-final loss to England. Go team India

[khanmaj]

What a match! Fanatics display of skills and determination by Afghan team. Australia knocked out. Sigh of relief for all three semi finalist especially South Africa. No team would prefer to face Australia in the knock out games.

India vs England
South Africa vs Afghanistan

Both semis would be treat to watch.

[AtheK]

Really happy the way WC turned out to be after the snooze fest that IPL was. Always good to see competition between bat and ball and bowlers really dominated this time.

[Kar_Om]

What a thriller and what an inspiring victory by Afghanistan to make it to semifinals! They never lost belief even after having to defend 115.

I hope ICC "rewards" Gulbadin Naib for his "Acting" skills on the ground.

[NPV]

It has been a great T20I World Cup so far with many low scoring thrillers. Always enjoyable to watch the shortest format when the bowlers have something in the pitches for them, otherwise it’s always a flat-track-batsmen-bullying-bowlers situation!
These pitches make the batsmen think where they will target their shots and how much power is needed to clear the boundaries given that there is sea breeze which can completely change the dynamics.

Nice to see Afghanistan win low scoring games and help eliminate the Aussies, nothing more satisfying than this for an Indian cricket fan

We still have a big hurdle to cross - beating England to reach the final.

Please don't compare us with SA labelling of chokers.

We have 2 ODI World cup trophies.
1 T20 World cup Trophy.
2 times WTC Finalists.

While SA has never played a single final let alone winning in any format of World cup including the WTC. We are miles better.

Both Semi finals will be fun if Rain doesn't play spoilsport.

Great win by Afghanistan. And Australia were never good enough this year. If reached into semis, they would had been the luckiest team to do so in all history of T20 WCs. Talking of their team, the lack of a proper 5th bowler was their biggest weakness. I mean Stoinis can be your sixth bowler, not the fifth. Maybe they should had sacrificed one batsman and pick Agar in the top seven. Anyways thats a topic for another day. As of now, a happy retired life to a true champion, Warner.
