Yeah.. Don't think they are allowed to..

Mostly because it's England they'll face in the finals@Utd heap
I fancy India for the semi final sadly. England capable of course but it's a slow spin friendly wicket, don't think we'll handle Kuldeep and Bumrah on it.
Yeah watching it live earlier was quite bizarre
bowled a perfectly good over (taking a wicket) just minutes later!You would never see that kind of gamesmanship from the Aussies, poor lads.
If you told me Jonathan Trott would be leading Afghanistan to an ICC Tournament semi-final 1 year ago I would have told you need institutionalization.
They won't beat South Africa either but just making the semi final is phenomenal achievement

Well it is knockout stage time so you never know with India against a good team.
Afghanistan v South Africa is also intriguing. There's as much chance of Afghanistan dominating SA with their spin as it is with them being dominated by SA pace.
Afghans to bat first and set 150-170 would setup a superb match there (not checked out the pitch - based on the assumption it's 'normal').
Unfortunately I don't think Afghanistan is gonna score 160 odd particularly if Gurbaz is out.
Where are the Afghanistan team based? I'm guessing it's not in Afghanistan.
They had facilities in India for a few years in Noida. Now they're based in UAE I think
India need to make the Pant Kohli switch if they are to win this
The footballing world would be very interested to know there’s a physio out there who can recover hamstring tears in minutes
Genuinely believe Afghan bowlers can get on a roll a tie SA up, India/Eng is a 50/50 but apparently there’s a lot of weather around which may be a factor. Always good to see the Aussies sent packing.
Yep got injured and didn't keep wickets for whole second innings.
Defo bribed!Wtf @RedTiger, why aren't yours trying to chase this?
what is the reaction in Bangladesh?
Bang bros apparently gave up after the third wicket. It makes no sense to me.

If they are serious about the game, heads should roll after this.

Pant is not an opener while Kohli has opened for a few years in the IPL, really you have to drop Kohli for Jaiswal but you can’t because of his reputation.
It’s odd how quickly Kohli lost form though, he had the most runs in the IPL this year despite everything.
we are probably better off Kohli not in form. He'll drag us kicking and screaming in his own way to a 160 which Buttler will chase down in 12 overs.
not a coincidence RCB started doing better after he lost a bit of form
This interview reads like satire
You are definitely favourites, just look how many other teams have put on us in powerplay
Apparently weather isn't looking too great for England-India tomorrow, with no reserve day. India would go through in case of no result.
Pretty terrible start to the game from Afghanistan. This is over already.
Looks a horrible wicket to bat on, crazy decision to bat first - with the caveat that SA have a top bowling line up.
Game over after 4 overs, probably.

Extras top scoring at the drinks break (10 overs). This has been a disaster for Afghanistan.
That "extras" guy carried his bat for a grand total of 13. Great bowling performance from SA but Afghanistan really let the occasion get to them.
56 all out....
Well that was quick. Congrats @Ish
That was anti climatic.
Yikes. When I saw the score, i initially thought it was a rain-affected game..
Go on SA. I hope you finally win the whole thing!

Wtf happened there There would be a chance SA would be troubled by Afg bowling but it never even came to that
There would be a chance SA would be troubled by Afg bowling but it never even came to thatSeems they chose to bat first. Brave decision, probably correct as well, but everything went wrongWtf happened there
What a fecking anti climax.
There's no way the saffers are not winning this tournament.
