Rahmanullah Gurbaz named POTM in NZ vs AFG match
Opening the innings for Afghanistan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz smashed an excellent 80 off just 56 deliveries as the Asian side managed to post 159/6 in their allotted 20 overs. In reply, the Kiwis were bundled out for a mere 75/10.
“I think, nothing special than the win. The wicket was not easy, the total that we got was good. A bit frustrated because couldn’t end the way I wanted to. The total in our mind was 140-160. Credit to Farooqi and Rashid the way they bowled, said Gurbaz.
We knew this is a very good partnership at the top. We discuss that when it is not my day, he takes on the bowler. When it is not his day, I do the attacking. My job is to keep everyone active on the ground. If I am not active, I make sure other players are loud and give energy to the bowlers.” he added.
