Afghanistan vs uae: Afghanistan star leg spinner Rashid Khan once again proved why he is counted among the most dangerous bowlers in the world. In the T20 tri -series match played in Sharjah, he not only won his team by 38 runs against UAE, but has also made a world record that may take years to break others. Rashid, 26, has left behind Tim Saudi of New Zealand by becoming the highest wicket bowler in T20 International.
Rashid Khan’s World Record
Till now this record was named after Tim Southee of New Zealand, who had 164 wickets in their account, but Saudi had 126 matches and 2753 balls to reach this point. On the other hand, Rashid Khan showed amazing boom in breaking this record. He created history by taking 165 wickets in just 98 matches and 2240 balls. Getting this feat at such a young age tells that his career is still going to touch the height.
Match condition
Batting first in this match, Afghanistan scored 188 runs for 4 wickets in 20 overs. Afghan batsman Ibrahim Jadaran hit 63 runs off 40 balls. Sedikullah Atal also scored 54 runs off 40 balls, scoring the first half -century of his career. The two players together shared an 84 -run partnership for the second wicket and brought the team to a strong position.
In response, UAE’s team was able to score only 150 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Muhammad Wasim definitely made the match exciting by hitting 67 runs (6 sixes and 4 fours) off 37 balls, but after his dismissal, the team was completely shattered.
