Rahmanullah Gurbaz bagged a low score in the opening match of Afghanistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Gurbaz failed to step up with the bat in the high-octane match against the Proteas. He suffered a nasty blow to his thigh in the first over itself and never looked in control after that.
Ngidi bowled a short ball and cramped Gurbaz for room with a well-directed delivery. The Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batsman walked down the pitch, got into a slightly awkward position on the pull, and only managed to get a top edge.
After getting out, Gurbaz was absolutely furious and he screamed in anger. While walking back, the wicketkeeper-batsman was seen slamming his bat on the ground and while sitting in the dressing room, he looked angry.
