Rashid's men, who had stunned the world by slaying giants like New Zealand and Australia on their way to a T20 World Cup semifinal berth, will aim to replicate their heroics and maybe go a little further in more familiar Asian conditions when they start their campaign against New Zealand
Spin wizard Rashid Khan and pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi sliced through the New Zealand batting order to help Afghanistan demolish the Blackcaps, registering an 84 runs victory in the Group C match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium on Friday (local time).
Following his side's 84-run win against New Zealand, Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz said that nothing feels more special than to have finally beaten the Black Caps after years of waiting and also reflected on his partnership with opener Ibrahim Zadran.
