Prepare for an exciting match between Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates UAE vs AFG at the renowned Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the first Twenty20 International of Afghanistan’s tour of the UAE. Afghanistan has won the last two T20I head-to-head matches between the two countries, but this exciting contest is the first in a three-match series in the United Arab Emirates.
During their most recent World Cup qualifier match, the United Arab Emirates lost to Nepal by eight wickets. Asif Khan, who demonstrated his skill with a remarkable knock of 151 runs, was instrumental in helping the team post a total of 134 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs. Waseem Muhammad added 26 runs, and Vriitya Aravind added 64. Nepal accomplished the task of chasing down the target, achieving 135 runs at a cost of two wickets in 17 overs. By claiming one wicket during the game, Basil Hameed made a crucial breakthrough.
However, rain caused Afghanistan’s final Twenty20 International match against India in the Asian Games 2023 to be abandoned. In 18 overs, Afghanistan managed to post a competitive total of 112 runs for the cost of 5 wickets despite the weather disruption. Afzar Zazai scored 15 runs before rain interrupted the game, then Shahidullah displayed his genius with a heroic 97-run innings. Gulbadin Naib added 27 runs.
