Batting first, Afghanistan were bowled out for just 112 runs. A very small target for T20. At that time, it seemed that this run would be easily overcome by England.

But the match belongs to the bowlers. As a result, the English batsmen had to play up to 18.1 overs after losing 5 wickets even in this run. Wickets were falling at scheduled intervals. As a result, there was a little fear in the minds of the English.

But above all, in the end, the English started to win. Liam Livingstone’s unbeaten 29 off 21 balls contributed greatly to this win. Moreover, 35 runs were also used in the opening pair.

Earlier, England won the toss and sent Afghanistan into bat. In the face of England’s bowlers, the Afghans could not give a big target in their first match. They were all out for just 112 runs with two balls to spare.

Apart from Ibrahim Zardar and Usman Ghani, no one could score significant runs. For England, Sam Curren took 5 wickets for just 10 runs and destroyed the Afghan batting line.
