Afghanistan dominated the first T20I against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), led by an explosive performance from opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who slammed the second-fastest century by an Afghan batter. Their victory, a commanding 72-run win, was fueled by Gurbaz's remarkable innings and Ibrahim Zadran's impressive contribution of 59 runs off 43 deliveries. With this significant win, Afghanistan head into the second T20I, scheduled for December 31 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, with high confidence.


Rahmanullah Gurbaz's blistering 52-ball century powered his team to a total of 203/3 in 20 overs, ably supported by skipper Ibrahim Zadran. On the bowling front for the UAE, Aayan Khan stood out as the most economical bowler, conceding 26 runs in his four overs. However, the hosts struggled to find momentum in their chase and concluded with a total of 131/4 in 20 overs, with Vritiya Aravind contributing 70 runs off 64 balls.
