Afghanistan will have an opportunity to punch their ticket to the 2024 T20 World Cup Super 8s round tonight (June 13). They will be up against rookies Papua New Guinea in a Group C match at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba.
Rashid Khan and co. have already won two matches. If they win tonight as well, they will seal their place in the next round.
