Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran played 154 runs partnership which is the 4th highest partnership in T20 World cup history Gurbaz scored 76 on 45 balls and Ibrahim zadran 70 runs which help his team to gave a huge target. Afghanistan openers are gone on 156/2 in 15th overs after that their remaining teammates could make only 27 runs in the last 5 overs which is less than 6 runs per over. After batting well their bowlers restricted the Uganda team to just 58 runs which is the 4th lowest total in World Cup history Afghanistan team got two points with a high net run rate of +6.25 which helps them in this tournament. The intent of the Afghanistan team in the first game was a sign of winning this tournament.
Yesterday, the first hat trick of the World Cup 2024 was almost there and that could have been done by an Afghanistan player named Fazalhaq Farooqi. Yesterday there was a match between Afghanistan and Uganda in which Fazalhaq Farooqi picked three wickets back to back also in the first overs. At the same time, the Afghanistan batting was also good last night and not only Fazalhaq Farooqi, but Rashid Khan also did good bowling.
Overall, the Afghanistan team played amazingly at their first match and hopes they will go up after winning more matches. Next time they will face New Zealand and that could be a hard match for them but let’s see, I hope they will do some good.
