The 23 year old, who finished with the stunning figures of 5-9, went on to attribute his brilliant display on franchise cricket and explained how it helped his game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I tried to bowl into the wicket and see what happens. It swung from the beginning and later on I tried to bowl slower since it wasn\u2019t coming onto the bat that nicely. Playing franchise cricket surely helps. When you play big games with big players, it helps you coming into a tournament like this,\u201d said Farooqi in the post match interview.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After Afghanistan posted a total of 183\/5, Farooqi gave the team the perfect start to their bowling picking up the wickets of Ronak Patel (4) and Roger Mukasa (0) off back-to-back deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The left-arm pacer went on to dismiss Riazat Ali Shah, Robinson Obuya and skipper Brian Masaba to complete his five-wicket haul.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He became the sixth Afghanistani player to ever take a Five-fors for Afghanistan in T20Is and produced the fourth best bowling spell in T20 World Cup history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Congratulations to all Afghan fans on the victory, I have missed a hat-trick 7-8 times in my career. It\u2019s not something in my control but I will try better in the future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Afghanistan will next play New Zealand in their second group C encounter on June 8 at the Providence Stadium while Uganda will face Papua New Guinea on June 6 at the same venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/t20-world-cup-farooqi-credits-franchise-cricket-for-scintillating-show-against-uganda.JPG", "alt_img": "T20 World Cup: Farooqi credits franchise cricket for scintillating show against Uganda", "alt_title": "New Delhi : ICC Cricket World Cup Match Between England and Afghanistan", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "T20 World Cup: Farooqi Credits Franchise Cricket For Scintillating Show Against Uganda On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "T20 World Cup: Farooqi Credits Franchise Cricket For Scintillating Show Against Uganda, T20 World Cup: Afghanistan got off to a brilliant start in their T20 World Cup campaign as they decimated the.", "seo_keywords": "T20 World Cup, Fazalhaq Farooqi, After Afghanistan, Ronak Patel, Roger Mukasa, Riazat Ali Shah, Robinson Obuya, Brian Masaba, New Zealand, Providence Stadium, Papua New Guinea", "tag": "", "tagging": "T20 World Cup, Fazalhaq Farooqi, After Afghanistan, Ronak Patel, Roger Mukasa, Riazat Ali Shah, Robinson Obuya, Brian Masaba, New Zealand, Providence Stadium, Papua New Guinea", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "t20-world-cup-farooqi-credits-franchise-cricket-for-scintillating-show-against-uganda", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "800", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-06-04 11:36:04", "updated": "2024-06-04 11:36:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "T20 World Cup, Fazalhaq Farooqi, After Afghanistan, Ronak Patel, Roger Mukasa, Riazat Ali Shah, Robinson Obuya, Brian Masaba, New Zealand, Providence Stadium, Papua New Guinea", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-04 11:36:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/t20-world-cup-farooqi-credits-franchise-cricket-for-scintillating-show-against-uganda-145807" }
