Afghanistan capable of reaching semis? Rashid Khan reacts to predictions

Afghanistan and Uganda will be up against each other in a Group C match of the Men’s T20 World CupWorld CupWorld Cup 2024. The Providence Stadium in Guyana will host the encounter.

The Afghans, led by Rashid Khan, put in a strong performance in the ODI World Cup last year after they defeated Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England. In T20Is, they have given big teams a run for money. Hence, given how they have played of late, they should be able to ease past Uganda.

Their spin attack, comprising Rashid, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad and Mohammad Nabi, remains one of the strongest in the tournament. In Fazalhaq Farooqi, Afghanistan have a genuine wicket-taker with the new ball. All-rounder Nangeyalia Kharote is one of their brightest young prospects.
