Batting Line Up
Afghanistan’s main batting lineup has hard hitters of the white Bowl in the T20 format. Hashmatullah Shahidi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zardan, and Azmatullah Omarzai are reserved as openers for their team in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Well, Afghanistan always lacks quality pace attacks as this team currently relies on Medium Pacers. The absence of Pace Attackers will tease them in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. However, Naveen ul Haq, Ibrahim Zardan, and Fazalhaq Faroowi will be mainstream bowlers for them.
Bowling Line Up
When it comes to quality Spin attacks, no one can underestimate the power and abilities of Afghan spin bowlers. Currently, Rashid Khan and Mujeed-ur Rahman are the best full-time spin bowlers available in their squad.
Afghanistan no doubt holds the capability to face all other emerging sides of this event. However, due to lack of experience, their players didn’t engage themselves in pressure situations. Having said that, Afghanistan is still a Hot Contender for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
