T20 World Cup 2024 (T20 World Cup 2024The eighth match of Super-8 in 2018 was played between Afghanistan and Australia at Arnos Vale Stadium, Kingstown in which the Afghan team defeated Australia by 21 runs. During this match, Australia's fielding looked very weak and in the meantime Marcus Stoinis also dropped a catch which could have turned the whole match.

Actually, this incident happened in the 12th over of Afghanistan's innings. Marcus Stoinis himself was bowling this over. Ibrahim Zadran got trapped on his third ball. The Afghan player played a straight shot which could have been caught. This ball was in the air and Stoinis tried his best to catch the ball.

Here Marcus' hand also touched the ball, but despite all his efforts, he was a little away from the ball and the ball almost went behind his hand. Ibrahim Zadran not only got a lifeline here, but also got two runs. When this incident happened, he was batting on just 32 runs.

That is, if this catch had been taken, he would have been out on a score of 32 runs, however this did not happen and he scored 19 more runs for the team in his innings and scored a total of 51 runs. Afghanistan eventually won this match by a margin of 21 runs, that is why it would not be wrong to say that Stoinis' dropped catch could have turned the whole match around for Australia.

In response, Glenn Maxwell played an innings of 59 runs for Australia, but he did not get support from any other player and the entire Australian team was all out after scoring just 127 runs in 19.2 overs. Afghanistan won the match by 21 runs.
