In a thrilling encounter at the T20 World Cup, Afghanistan showcased their dominance against Uganda in a one-sided affair. Led by the explosive batting performances of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, Afghanistan posted a formidable total of 183 for 5 in their allotted overs. Gurbaz’s aggressive knock of 76 runs off 45 balls, complemented by Ibrahim’s composed innings of 70 runs off 46 balls, laid a solid foundation for Afghanistan’s imposing total.
Despite Uganda’s valiant effort with the ball, Afghanistan managed to maintain their momentum throughout the innings. However, Afghanistan faced a late collapse, losing five wickets in the final overs. Uganda’s captain Brian Masaba and fast bowler Cosmas Kyewuta put up a commendable bowling performance, each claiming two wickets to restrict Afghanistan’s scoring rate.
In response, Uganda’s batting lineup crumbled under the pressure of Afghanistan’s formidable pace attack. Fazalhaq Farooqi was the star performer for Afghanistan, claiming a remarkable five-wicket haul and wreaking havoc on Uganda’s top order. Supported by Naveen-ul-Haq and captain Rashid Khan, who both chipped in with two wickets each, Afghanistan’s bowlers dismantled Uganda’s batting lineup with precision.
Farooqi’s devastating spell, combined with Rashid Khan’s crucial contributions, ensured Uganda’s innings came to a swift end at just 58 runs.
Overall, Afghanistan’s dominant performance underscored their superiority over Uganda in their T20 World Cup clash, highlighting the vast gap in skill and experience between the two teams.
