Rahmanullah Gurbaz's century powered Afghanistan to clinch a 72-run win over United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the first T20I match at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Afghan opener Hazratullah Zazai (13 runs from 16 balls) failed to make a mark but Gurbaz (100 runs from 52 balls) shined against the UAE bowling attack to post 203/3 for the Afghans. Ibrahim Zadran (59 runs from 43 balls) also played a crucial role by making a solid partnership with Gurbaz.

Afghanistan crashed out of the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals race after slumping to a five-wicket loss against South Africa on Friday. Afghanistan needed a massive win to stay in the race but the loss means that Pakistan and New Zealand are the two left with a chance of reaching the semifinals. New Zealand have the advantage with 10 points from 9 matches and the Kiwis have the best Net Run Rate (NRR) in comparison to Pakistan and Afghanistan. With 8 points from 8 matches, Pakistan need to win their last league match by 287 runs if they bat first. If they chase, Pakistan will have to win with at least 284 balls -- more than 47 overs -- to spare.
