Afghanistan vs United Arab Emirates, 28th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Muhammad Arfan to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by Muhammad Waseem!! There's the big wicket and UAE believe they can still cause an upset - Was the slower short ball from Arfan, bowled into the pitch and Zadran doesn't get enough power behind the pull - he probably had to wait for that extra moment and that meant he spooned it up over mid-wicket - Waseem runs in from the deep and completes a fine running catch. They've taken drinks with UAE starting to look dangerous. Ibrahim Zadran c Muhammad Waseem b Muhammad Arfan 53(41) [4s-6 6s-1]
