Azmatullah Omarzai showcased his all-round talent, propelling Afghanistan to a decisive five-wicket victory over the United Arab Emirates in their Group D T20 World Cup clash.

Omarzai excelled with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 15 runs, restricting the UAE to 160 for 9 in 20 overs. Despite Sohaib Khan's impressive 68 and Alishan Sharafu's 31-ball 40, the UAE couldn't post a formidable total. Performing with both bat and ball, Omarzai then guided Afghanistan with a commanding 40 not out, following teammate Ibrahim Zadran's essential 53, leading to a successful chase.

The win marks Afghanistan's first triumph in the ongoing edition, reflecting Omarzai's pivotal role in the team's performance. This victory sets a positive precedent for Afghanistan's journey ahead in the tournament.
