Bangladesh need 116 in 12.1 overs to reach T20 WC semis

Afghanistan set a target of 116 runs for Bangladesh in the final Group 1 Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St Vincent.

Earlier, Bangladesh restricted Afghanistan to 115/5 in 20 overs in the first innings of the final Group 1 Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup where Rishad Hossain claimed 3 wickets.

Earlier, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss and opted to bat first.
