In a stunning upset, Afghanistan shocked Australia in a high-scoring encounter at the T20 World Cup 2024. The Afghans chased down a mammoth target of 209 runs, setting a new record for the highest successful chase in the tournament's history.

Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi led the charge with a blistering 109 off just 58 balls, including nine fours and seven sixes. His knock was complemented by a magnificent 201 not out from Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who smashed 19 fours and 10 sixes.

Australia's batting lineup also put up a strong performance, with Cameron Green top-scoring with 86 off 53 balls. However, their bowlers were unable to contain the Afghan batsmen, as Nabi and Gurbaz plundered boundaries at will.

The victory keeps Afghanistan's semifinal hopes alive, while Australia's chances took a significant hit. The result is a testament to the growing strength of Afghanistan's cricket team, which has emerged as a formidable force in international cricket.
