This convincing win, with UAE finishing at 104/9 and Afghanistan posting 214/10 in 47.2 overs, underscores Afghanistan's preparedness for upcoming cricket challenges.
Afghanistan's cricketing journey, marked by rapid growth since 2001, has seen milestones such as their Intercontinental Cup win in 2010, ODI status in 2011, and a remarkable victory against the Windies in the 2016 T20I World Cup.
