Afghanistan secured its first win in the Twenty20 World Cup, defeating the UAE by five wickets, with Azmatullah Omarzai scoring 40 not out and taking 4-15. Despite the victory, Afghanistan faces slim chances of advancing to the Super Eights, depending on New Zealand’s match against Canada. South Africa, India, and West Indies have already qualified for the next stage. England, aiming for a spot in the Super Eights, opted to bat against Italy in Kolkata.
