Omarzai’s 4-15 and Blazing 40* Power Afghanistan to First Win Over UAE in T20 World Cup 2026
Azmatullah Omarzai’s incisive spell of 4-15 and an unbeaten cameo of 40 off 21 balls powered Afghanistan to their first win of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup through a five-wicket victory over the UAE at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday.
On a pitch which had a bit of moisture, Omarzai varied his line and length cleverly to dismantle the lower half of the UAE’s batting card, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman chipped in with two wickets and Rashid Khan bowled a tidy spell to keep the UAE to 160/9.
