South Africa secured a spot in their first T20 World Cup final with a dominant nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan. The Proteas excelled, bowling out Afghanistan for just 56 runs and hitting the target in just 8.5 overs.

Wazhma Ayoubi, an Afghan social media sensation, celebrated Afghanistan's historic win over Australia in the T20 World Cup by posting a picture in a saree, thanking Indian supporters. The image and her message highlighting India-Afghanistan camaraderie went viral, symbolizing strong cross-cultural support and shared joy in cricket achievements.

The Men in Blue can only miss out on a top four spot if Australia and Afghanistan win their final matches by a margin of more than 120 runs.

The Afghanistan cricket team, participating in the T20 World Cup in Barbados, faced challenges with the availability of halal meat at their hotel, leading them to cook for themselves. This situation differed from their previous experience in India, affecting their preparations and overall experience.

This incident took place during the second over of the match, a ball which was bowled by Azmatullah Omarzai touched the inside edge of Rohit's bat before hitting his pads and the batter went on to take a single. However, the umpire gave it a leg-bye and Rohit could not control his reaction.

With this victory against Afghanistan, Skipper Rohit Sharma now has the most T20I wins (42) as India's captain in men's cricket.

Shivam Dube’s current form, Jaiswal's blazing starts and Arshdeep Singh’s consistency are a few positives for India ahead of the World T20 2024 which is going to start on June 1. 

During the first T20 international, India ticked all the boxes and it was pleasing to see the all-round efforts of Shivam Dube as he could be a bright prospect for India in the upcoming World T20 which will held in West Indies and USA. 

Celebrating coach Rahul Dravid's 51st birthday, India, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, triumphed where all-rounder Shivam Dube stole the spotlight.

However, India will miss the services of star batsman Virat Kohli who will not play the first T20 due to personal reasons. 

The twist of fate could potentially keep him out of action for six weeks, casting a shadow over his immediate participation.

As of now, there are no diplomats from the Afghan Republic remaining in India, the mission stressed.

During the Asia Cup, she was also spotted supporting team India. She wore a jersey signed by Virat Kohli himself for the match and was seen proudly waving the Indian flag and cheering for Team India.

This noble gesture of the Afghani batsman has been winning hearts online with cricket lovers applauding him online.

Their chances of qualifying for the semifinals will also grow if both New Zealand and Pakistan lose their next matches.
