Afghanistan has surprised everyone after directly qualifying for the Super 12 Round. Teams like Sri Lanka and Bangla Desh were supposed to qualify but Afghanistan left both the high profile teams behind and cemented its place in the top 8 teams.
Afghanistan is in Group 2 where they will take on India, South Africa, England, and the two other teams which will qualify from round one of the ICC T20 World Cup. Below is the complete Afghanistan match timetable.
| Afghanistan | VS | Teams | Date |

Afghanistan makes its debut against Ireland at P. Sara, Colombo; 1 February 2010. The since then there has been no retreat for the team. They are still making it count.
Afghanistan Cricket was formed in 1995, just 26 years ago. And ICC took it as an Affiliate member in 2001. Asian Cricket Council provided them with membership in 2003. Afghanistan is now a full member of the ICC. They got this achievement in 2017.
Afghanistan is one of the dangerous teams. They are holding the record for the highest ever score in T20I against Ireland. They scored 278 runs for the loss of three wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
It is still very early to say that they have a chance to win the coming ICC t20 championship but one can’t deny their ability as a team. Team Afghanistan has got every resource in their bucket to beat any time. Destructive batsmen, High profile spinners, and a bunch of quality fast bowlers.
