'India won the T20 World Cup when...': Hilarious memes from the AUS vs BAN Super 8 showdown take over internet
Fans thoroughly enjoyed the one-sided T20 World Cup match between Australia and Bangladesh, sharing hilarious memes on social media platforms like X and Instagram.
Australia defeated Bangladesh by 28 runs via the DLS method in their Super Eight clash of the ongoing T20 World Cup after rain interrupted the game on Thursday, June 20. The match took place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, and saw Australia advancing confidently towards the target before weather conditions brought the game to an early conclusion.
The Australian team, chasing a target of 141 runs, had scored 102/2 in 11.2 overs when rain halted play once more. The par score at this point was 72, which put Australia 28 runs ahead, securing their victory under the DLS method. Australia had made a strong start in their innings, with openers Travis Head and David Warner providing a solid foundation. Head scored 30 runs off 19 balls, while Warner contributed 28 off 17 balls. However, both batsmen fell quickly after the first rain interruption when Australia was 64/0.
Earlier in the match, Australian bowler Pat Cummins shone by taking a hat-trick, helping to restrict Bangladesh to 140/8 in their 20 overs. Cummins' performance was pivotal as the Australian team managed to keep the Bangladesh batsmen in check. For Bangladesh, only captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who scored 41 runs, and Towhid Hridoy, who added 40, made significant contributions to their team¡¯s total.
The match began with a brief delay due to rain, after which Australia won the toss and opted to field first. The Australian team made a few changes, bringing in Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in place of Agar and Ellis. Bangladesh, on the other hand, included Mahedi Hasan in their lineup in place of Jaker Ali.
The rain interruptions added to the drama of the match, but fans took the opportunity to share their reactions on social media platforms. Memes and humorous takes on the match flooded the internet, showcasing the lighter side of the game amidst the competitive spirit. Here's how the internet reacted with a tinge of humour:
