Malla’s dismissal in the 17th over was a significant blow for Nepal as they were chasing a target in their T20 World Cup match. However, Airee’s well-timed six in the following over kept Nepal’s hopes alive with only a few overs remaining, needing 22 runs off 12 balls.
In the crucial 19th over, Mustafizur Rahman turned the game in Bangladesh’s favor with an exceptional performance. He bowled a wicket-maiden over, which ultimately sealed the match for Bangladesh and secured their spot in the next round of the tournament. This victory marked the lowest total ever successfully defended in a T20 World Cup match, showcasing Bangladesh’s strong performance under pressure.
