Afghanistan vs Bangladesh | “Was In Tears Laughing…” : Mitchell Marsh On Gulbadin Naib Fake Injury

Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh has reacted to Gulbadin Naib’s injury in the match against Afghanistan saying it was a funny act. Afghanistan beat Bangladesh by eight runs to enter into the semi-final and knock Australia out of the T20 World Cup 2024.

Hyderabad: Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib earned a lot of attention during the team’s historic win over Bangladesh for all the wrong reasons as the users on social media bashed him for faking an injury during the match.

While batting first, Afghanistan managed to muster only 115/5 from the allotted quota of 20 overs. However, with a semifinal spot on the line, the team pulled things back with the ball restricting the opposition to 81/7 in the 12th over. They eventually bundled out the opposition short of the target and won the match.

With rain affecting the game every now and then, Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott instructed his players to slow down the things at one point of time when they were ahead in the game. Immediately after Trott’s instructions, Naib who was fielding at slip fell to the ground while holding his hamstring.

Many bashed him for his act but Australia captain Mitchell Marsh has stated that he found it funny.
