Afghanistan defeated Papua New Guinea by seven wickets in Trinidad, securing their place in the ICC World T20 2024 Super Eight stage. Fazalhaq Farooqi's three-fer restricted PNG to 95 runs, while Gulbadin Naib's 49 off 36 deliveries anchored Afghanistan's successful chase with 29 balls to spare.
Afghanistan's innings began on a nervy note as they lost their star openers, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran within the powerplay. Nonetheless, Gulbadin Naib and Azmatullah Omarzai steadied the ship guiding the score to 46/2 by the end of seven overs. Papua New Guinea showed great grit and managed to dismiss Omarzai in the ninth over, tightening the game with Afghanistan at 56/3. At the halfway mark, Afghanistan were cautiously placed at 59/3 with Mohammad Nabi and Naib at the crease. Needing 31 runs from nine overs, the game seemed to tilt in Afghanistan's favour. The pair built a 46-run partnership steering Afghanistan to victory in 15.1 overs with the score reaching 101/3, securing a seven-wicket win. With this triumph, Afghanistan secured their berth in the Super Eight.
Dream ball!
