West Indies cricket icon Brian Lara foresaw Afghanistan's rise to the T20 World Cup semifinals a month before the tournament. Proving Lara's claim true, Afghan captain Rashid Khan expressed immense pride in their achievement.

Afghanistan's cricket team secured their first-ever World Cup semifinal spot with a thrilling eight-run victory over Bangladesh in the final Super 8 match. Reflecting on their journey, Rashid attributed the team's self-belief to an earlier triumph against New Zealand.

Against Bangladesh, Afghanistan posted 115/5, relying on strong performances by bowlers Naveen Ul Haq and Rashid to secure a memorable win. The team now prepares to face South Africa in the semifinals, with celebrations expected back home.
