Just 58 runs in 16 overs and the whole team was all out. This is the fourth lowest team total in T20 World Cup history, which Uganda made against Afghanistan today.
In the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Uganda won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Tuesday. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 183 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs and gave a target of 184 runs. In response, Uganda was all out for 58 runs in 16 overs.
In this way, Afghanistan defeated Uganda by 125 runs. This is Afghanistan’s second biggest win in terms of runs in the T20 World Cup. Earlier, the team defeated Scotland by 130 runs in the 2021 World Cup. Fazalhaq Farooqi took 5 wickets for Afghanistan. This is the fourth best bowling figure of the tournament. He was adjudged Player of the Match.
Despite fightback from Uganda bowlers in the death overs, Afghanistan posted a strong total of 183/5 on the back of a brilliant opening stand of 154 runs between Ibrahim Zadran (70 off 46) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz 76 off 42).
In defense of a huge total, Farooqi set the tone for the win with his scintillating bowling display, picking up 5-9 to bundle out Uganda for 58 in 16 overs and wrap up a massive win for his side.
A brief stand between Riazat Ali and Robinson Obuya steadied the ship temporarily, but Farooqi returned to deliver further blows and strengthen Afghanistan’s grasp on the game. Farooqi finished with 5/9, while the finishing blows were delivered by skipper Rashid Khan.
