‘Therefore it was logical to bring Kobbie into the game who has different attributes to be able to connect the game through midfield, so very pleased with that.
‘In the end, we almost had a goal where [Anthony] Gordon, Mainoo and Palmer connect and it was a super piece of play.

The applications he has constructed make it much more spectacular as his six wins in two CWS appearances at Texas A&M tripled the Aggies’ all-time complete of two CWS victories within the historical past of this system. In the meantime at TCU, 4 of the Horned Frogs’ six CWS appearances got here below Schlossnagle, and he led them to the ultimate 4 on the CWS 3 times (2010, 2016 and 2017), the furthest that program has ever superior.

I could not be extra excited to look at him work his magic on the Forty Acres.”
Schlossnagle’s Texas A&M program reached historic ranges briefly order, main the Aggies to the CWS his first yr (2022) and once more in 2024. What he did on the most important stage for Texas A&M was important, posting a 6-4 file within the two CWS appearances for a program that had simply two CWS wins in its historical past. Earlier than he arrived, the Aggies had six CWS appearances in program historical past with the latest coming in 2017. The Aggies’ 53 wins in 2024 have been tied for the second-most at school historical past. He took the Aggies to their best-ever NCAA runner-up end along with his patented squad constructed round excellent pitching (fourth-best nationally in ERA at 3.86/nation-leading 12 shutouts/school-record 715 strikeouts), nice fielding, dependable massive bats (fourth-best nationally in house runs with 136) and clutch hitting. And so they overcame a rash of accidents, adversity and challenges whereas nonetheless managing to advance to the CWS championship collection.

And the success was instant as Texas A&M went 44-20 and superior to the CWS in his first yr on the helm in 2022. The Aggies have been one of many ultimate 4 groups remaining that yr and received their first video games in Omaha in 20 years (since 1993) that season.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is not interested in hanging around, attacking Naveen at every opportunity and quickly paying a high price. After smacking a boundary over midwicket the Bangladesh captain looks to repeat the shot, but gets around it more the next time to pick out Mohammad Nabi at deep square leg for a simple catch.

Fazalhaq Farooqi comes in around the wicket and an in-swinger strikes Tanzid Hasan on the thigh pad as the left-hander looks to hit across the line. The umpire raises the finger, Tanzid calls for a review with barely a second remaining on the clock, but replays show it would have taken out the top of middle stump. Fazalhaq again has the most wickets in the tournament, now with 16.

Afghanistan crawled to 115-5 to leave the door open for Bangladesh to snatch a spot in the semi-final – or for Australia to pick up the scraps.
Bangladesh will go through to the knockout stages if they reach their 116-run target in 12.1 overs or fewer, though they can also take three more balls if settling on the same score as Afghanistan then hitting the winning runs with a six.
But Rashid Khan’s side have a new pathway opening up, as rain starts to fall between innings and the covers are on. A washout would of course mean one point for each team, and be enough to lift Afghanistan into second spot. This has been a mouth-watering contest so far with the stakes sky high, so let’s at least hope for any outcome other than that.
While we wait for play to resume, enjoy Rashid’s glorious six to end the Afghanistan innings.

Rashid Khan unleashes in the last over as Afghanistan add 15 valuable runs to reach 115-5. He starts with an uppercut over point for six, then picks up a single with a leading edge. But Rashid was looking for two to get back on strike, and when Janat doesn’t respond in time his skipper goes wild and throws his bat in his teammate’s direction. Janat sheepishly hands the willow back mid-pitch, but Rashid is still fuming as he makes his way back to the non striker’s end. Rashid gets back on strike for the last ball of the innings and sends it almost out of the ground with a monster six.

A faint edge gets the breakthrough after keeper Litton Das seems to be the only fielder to hear it.

Hello and welcome to the OBO live coverage of the crunch clash between Afghanistan and Bangladesh at the 2024 T20 World Cup that will have major repercussions for Australia.
This is the last match of the Super Eight stage and the ICC could hardly have scripted it better. Both Afghanistan and Bangladesh are playing to join India in progressing from Group 1 to the semi-finals, while Australia will be watching on hoping the result falls their way to snatch the last spot even after back-to-back defeats.
The pathway to the knockout stage is clearest for Afghanistan after their historic victory over Australia. Another win for Rashid Khan’s side today – by any margin – would see Afghanistan book their ticket to take on South Africa in the knockout stages.
Australia’s 24-run defeat by India earlier today/overnight means their hopes are now out of their hands, but they could still progress with Bangladesh beating Afghanistan within a relatively large window of results.
Assuming a first innings total of 140 today, for Australia to qualify they would need Bangladesh batting first to win by fewer than 62 runs; or for Bangladesh batting second to chase down the same target in more than 12.4 overs.
The equation flips around for Bangladesh to claim the semi-final spot – bat first and win by 62 or more runs, bat second and reach a 141-run target in fewer than 12.4 overs.
India are already set to face England in the second semi-final in Providence on Thursday, while South Africa’s opponent for the semi-final in Tarouba on Wednesday will be decided within about four hours.
The toss and team news is coming shortly – but now is an ideal time to email your thoughts or get in touch on X @martinpegan.
