Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won the toss and chose to bowl first against the UAE in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning
“We’re going to bowl first. It’s a fresh pitch, and since it’s an early morning match, batting will be easier in the second innings. Losing in a Super Over is tough, but we have to bounce back as we’re representing our country. Good Cricket is essential,” Rashid Khan stated.
UAE captain Muhammad Waseem expressed satisfaction with batting first.
“The team is confident, but every game is different. We have new plans in place and are prepared to bat first, despite the ball moving in the early overs. We’re ready for the challenge,” he said.
