The final match of the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup was played between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. This match was important in terms of the semi-finals. Afghanistan has confirmed its place in the semi-finals by playing in the same style. But this match was overshadowed by rain. This increased the fear of sports lovers and Afghan players. After the rain interruption, Bangladesh was challenged to score 114 runs to win under the Duckworth-Lewis rule. But in response, the Bangladesh team could score only 105 runs. But one incident of this match became memorable for sports lovers. The match was repeatedly interrupted due to rain. So the math was changing according to the Duckworth-Lewis rule. That’s why sports lovers say that fielder Gulbadi has played a trick with Naib. He did something that the match had to be stopped for some time.
Noor Ahmed was bowling the 12th over for Afghanistan. Between the third and fourth balls, head coach Jonathan Trott warned the players that it would rain. The players thought that the game should be played at a slow pace. Then Gulbadi, who was fielding, caught Naib’s leg and fell on the ground. He pretended to be in unbearable pain. Meanwhile, Naveen Ul Haq and the support staff took him out of the field. Najibullah Zadran came to field in his place.

As soon as Gulbadin came out, it started raining. So one over was reduced. So Bangladesh was challenged to score 114 runs in 19 overs. Rashid Khan got angry when Gulbadin was out. Gulbadin came back on the field in the 13th over and also bowled the 15th over. He also took the wicket of Tanjim Hasan. So this act of Gulbadin is being laughed at a lot on social media. Memes are also going viral.

When Gulbadin fell on the field, Bangladesh had 7 wickets for 81 runs. According to the Duckworth-Lewis rule, Bangladesh was behind. Then it rained and the match was stopped. But the match ended as soon as the rain stopped. But if the rain had continued and the match had to be cancelled, Afghanistan would have won. What action does the ICC take in this case? Attention has been paid to this.
