Brian Lara predicts Afghanistan in the semi-finals: There are many legends in the cricket world who predict before the tournament starts which team can win the tournament or reach the semi-finals or finals. Meanwhile, now that the ICC's big tournament T20 World Cup is in its final stage, there have been many predictions which have proved to be true. West Indies legend Brian Lara made a prediction about a month ago, which surprised everyone and now it has come true.
What did Brian Lara predict?
Actually, at present, America-West Indies are hosting the T20 World Cup 2024. The semi-finals and finals of the tournament are to be held in the West Indies. Lara had accurately predicted this tournament about a month ago i.e. in May itself. Lara said that along with India, England and West Indies, the Afghanistan team can also reach the semi-finals.
Afghanistan team created history
When he announced the name of the Afghan team, everyone was surprised. But now the Afghanistan team has created history by proving Lara's words true. By defeating Bangladesh, the Afghan team made it to the semi-finals for the first time in the history of the T20 World Cup. Lara had said in May, 'West Indies, India and England can reach the semi-finals. My bet for the fourth place is on the secret horse Afghanistan. I have not seen the grouping, but considering the number of World Cups Afghanistan has played in the past, this team is on the path of progress and can make it to the last four. However, South Africa entered the semi-finals instead of West Indies.
Afghanistan captain also expressed gratitude
On Afghanistan reaching the semi-finals, Afghanistan team captain Rashid said, 'There is only one person who said that we can reach the semi-finals and that is Brian Lara. We proved him right. When we met him at the welcome party, I told him that we will live up to your trust.
