Afghanistan have already won both their games.
Afghanistan’s cricket success has come from a classic strategy: bat first, score big, and put pressure on the opponents. While modern T20 cricket often favors chasing, Afghanistan’s strong spin bowlers have made their strategy work. In this tournament, fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqui’s early breakthroughs have set the stage for their spinners to dominate.
In both of their wins, top-scorer Rahmanullah Gurbaz outscored the entire opposing teams with scores of 76 and 80. These huge victory margins mean Afghanistan is almost guaranteed a spot in the Super 8s, thanks to their high net run rate. A win in their next game will secure their place.
In contrast, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has had a tough time. They put up a good fight against the West Indies but fell short. However, they struggled against Uganda in a low-scoring match where they were expected to do better. PNG’s weak batting is a big concern, and facing Afghanistan’s strong bowling attack will be a significant challenge.
