Spunky Australian opener David Warner’s stellar international career came to an end after his side got knocked out of the ongoing T20 World Cup as a result of Afghanistan’s dramatic entry into the semifinal.
In the final Super 8 game of the T20 World Cup 2024, Bangladesh managed to keep Afghanistan to an underwhelming 115/5. They needed to chase down the target in 12.1 overs in order to bring themselves level with Afghanistan and Australia on points, but ahead of the two on NRR.
However, Bangladesh could neither cement a spot in the semifinal nor surpass the two other sides on NRR. After slipping to 23/3, Bangladesh opted to change their game plan and began pursuing a consolation win instead of attempting to book a berth in the semis. They were eventually handed an eight-run loss which helped Afghanistan advance to the last four in the marquee event for the first time in their history.
DAVID WARNER – He never felt like an opponent but always a team player and a true entertainer on and off the field !
Wishing you a happy retirement, @davidwarner31 ♥️#DavidWarner
