Rashid Khan is one of the most popular T20 cricketers across the world. The Afghanistan leg-spinner has played in almost every T20 league in the world, and he is currently representing the Afghanistan cricket team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Now, the qualification scenario for the T20 World Cup 2021 semifinals is such that the Indian cricket team wants Afghanistan to defeat the New Zealand cricket team in their next match.
Both Afghanistan and New Zealand have a chance of qualifying for the T20 World Cup semifinals. The Indian cricket team currently has four points to its name. If Afghanistan defeats the New Zealand cricket team, then both nations will have six points each. India are likely to beat Namibia and reach six points as well. Currently, India have the best net run rate in Group 2 of the Super 12 round.
Hence, India will be the favorites to qualify for the Super 12 stage if Afghanistan defeat New Zealand. Mujeeb ur Rahman will be a key player in that match. However, he is currently struggling with fitness. Hence, India’s Ravichandran Ashwin cheekily suggested in the press conference that Indian physio is ready to help Mujeeb if needed.
