T20 WC: Happy To Finish Up With The Win, Let’s Hope For The Best In Rest Of Competition, Says Rashid
T20 World Cup: Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan expressed relief after his team registered its first win of the T20 World Cup through a five-wicket victory over the United Arab Emirates in a Group D clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, adding that he now hopes for the best for his team’s future in the competition.
Seam-bowling all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai claimed 4-15 to help Afghanistan restrict UAE to 160/9 before returning with an unbeaten 40 off 21 balls to steer the side home in the chase with four balls to spare. Ibrahim Zadran contributed with a composed 53, while UAE’s Sohaib Khan top‑scored with 68 in a losing effort.
"Happy to finish up with the win; it's always important to have a win at the World Cup and let's hope for the best in the rest of the competition. We bowled really well in the last 10 overs, we missed our lines earlier and they played well. In the first 10 overs, we didn't bowl as well as we should have. Need to improve in the first 10 overs and be more consistent," Rashid said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
