AFG vs UGA T20 World Cup 2024 Highlights: Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Fazalhaq Farooqi Lead Afghanistan to a Dominant 125-Run Victory Over Uganda

Afghanistan vs Uganda (Day - Match 5)

Afghanistan vs Uganda: Afghanistan won by 125-Run over Uganda. Fazalhaq Farooqi has claimed a terrific five-wicket haul against Uganda.

Chasing 184 for the win, Uganda were in all kinds of problems from the beginning when they were brought down to 18 for 5 inside the first five overs. For some time, Riazat Ali Shan and Robinson Obuya stayed around but after their dismissals, the other batters fell one after another in quick succession and Uganda was bowled out for a paltry total of 58 runs.

Fazalhaq Farooqi was Afghanistan’s hero on that day with figures of 5-9 in his spell. He broke Ugandan backbones while he sent them at his will. Similarly, Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq had two scalps but Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman took only one wicket. This is a huge win for Afghanistan that has also given their +6.250 net run rate a huge boost.
