<p>Cricket has a new left-arm pace sensation! He was witnessed at Asia Cup 2022. Fazalhaq Farooqi it is! The boy from Afghanistan has impressed everyone with his sharp left-arm pace. He isn?t super quick or electric but his deliveries are well directed and can trouble the right-handers. But what are the details about this mystery man and where was he for so long? He is certainly meant for the big stage! Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Farooqi?s Performance at the Asia Cup 2022:?</strong></p>



<p>Farooqi was the top bowler for Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022 game against Sri Lanka. He ripped the Sri Lankan batting apart with 2 wickets in the first over. He took the wicket of Kusal Mendis on the 5<sup>th</sup> ball and Charith Asalanka on the 6<sup>th</sup>! He bowled at an economy of 1.7 runs per over in the first 6 overs! Now that is some great player at the age of 22.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Fazalhaq Farooqi is 22 years Old:?</strong></p>



<p>This pace sensation is just 22-year-old. The boys with those lovely Afghani eyes are mystical when it comes to bowling. He has been around for quite some time. The different teams he has played for are as follows:&nbsp;</p>



<ol><li>Afghanistan U-19s.&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="2"><li>Kabul Province (Afghanistan Domestic Team)&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="3"><li>Minister Group Dhaka (Bangladesh Domestic Team)&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="4"><li>Boost Defenders (Afghanistan Domestic Team)&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="5"><li>Nangarhar Leopards (Afghanistan Domestic Team)&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="6"><li>Baghlan Province (Afghanistan Domestic Team)&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="7"><li>Afghanistan&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="8"><li>Sunrisers Hyderabad&nbsp;</li></ol>



<p>The top skill of this left arm bower is his in-swing and his out-swing deliveries. He makes the time tough for the right-handers. It will be great to see a battle between Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rohit Sharma or KL Rahul. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Fazalhaq Farooqi played for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings before Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Fazalhaq Farooqi got picked for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022. He was picked in the auction for 50 lakhs and the Hyderabadis have made a steal! He also got a chance to play for them. Before making it to the Sunrisers camp Farooqi was associated with two other franchises. The Chennai Super Kings scouted Farooqi and gave him a role as a net bowler. He was also with the convoy of Punjab Kings. So, with the experience of net bowling to the top batters in the IPL Farooqi impressed everyone on the global stage.&nbsp;</p>

Asia Cup 2022: Who is Fazalhaq Farooqi? The Bowler who Impressed Against Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2022.?

asia-cup-2022-who-is-fazalhaq-farooqi-the-bowler-who-impressed-against-sri-lanka-in-asia-cup-2022

<p>The Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2022 begins today. Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan is the first conquest. Afghanistan is a surprise entrant in the top 4 as they played out Bangladesh to earn their spot in the Super 4 stage. They were the best team in the 1<sup>st</sup> Group. With that being said, what are the points to ponder upon in the upcoming game? Here is an in-depth preview of the Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan Super 4 Game:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Afghanistan Team Preview Before Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Rashid-Khan-min-1024x538.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-93799"/><figcaption>All eyes will be on spin maestro Rashid Khan.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The first team to qualify for the Super 4 stage after India was Afghanistan. They were very dominant in the first stage of the tournament. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan along with Fazalhaq Farooqi held their bowling together. Their top batters were Najibullah Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. It is always said that if the Afghani bowlers manage to wrap the opposition for around 150, the batters can get the job done. The rising giants of Asia have performed exceptionally well. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Afghanistan Squad for Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Afsar Zazai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Farid Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Karim Janat, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmad, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Samiullah Shinwari. Standby:&nbsp;Nijat Masood, Qais Ahmed, Sharafuddin Ashraf.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Playing XI:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrhaim Zadra, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Jannat, Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen Ul Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lanka Team Preview Before Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Sri Lanka might not be that high on confidence as they have barely managed to qualify for the Super 4s. They would have expected more clinical performance. With that being said, they can fancy their chances against Afghanistan in the Super 4 as the team doesn?t have experience performing in the later stages of a multi-national tournament. Kusal Mendis was impressive with the bat. Maheesh Teekshana and Pathirana need to play to potential &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lanka Squad for Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Dasun Shanaka (c), Danushka Gunathilaka, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Ashen Bandara, Dhananjaya de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Praveen Jayawickrama, Chamika Karunaratne, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwanidu Fernando, Nuwan Thusara, Dinesh Chandimal.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Playing XI:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksha, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Teekshana, Asitha Fernanado, Dilshan Madhushanka. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Expected top Performer in Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan Super 4:&nbsp;</h2>



<p><strong>Charith Asalanka:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Charith-Asalanka-min-1024x538.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-93798"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The expected top performer with the bat is Asalanka. Sri Lanka relies on this solid batter for support. He is the rock of their team and is technically very sound. His success will eventually mean the success of the Sri Lankans. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Venue and Timings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The game will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The broadcasting of the game will begin at 7: 30pm Indian Standard Time on Disney + Hotstar. The telecast of the game will be on the Star TV Network. &nbsp;</p>

The first semi-final will see a clash between South Africa and Afghanistan on Wednesday at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad. It will be followed by the India vs England semi-final on Thursday. Everything is settled, but a big concern ahead of the SA vs AFG game is the rain. The forecast suggests possible rain at the scheduled time.</p>

<p>It means we might see some rain breaks during the game, but everyone will hope for a complete match. As seen in the tournament so far, there have been a few games that have been washed out, while others have been affected by rain. The rain will be a headache for the knockout matches, but the organisers have done their homework, and there is extra time if it rains.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What will happen if SA vs AFG Clash gets washed out?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/Explained-What-will-happen-if-SA-vs-AFG-semi-final-1-gets-washed-out-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-141307"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SA vs AFG Semi Final Rain Rule</figcaption></figure>



<p>There have been two different rules for the two semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The second semi-final between <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-aus-rohit-sharma-breaks-flurry-of-records-in-his-92-run-stand-check-the-full-list-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-aus-rohit-sharma-breaks-flurry-of-records-in-his-92-run-stand-check-the-full-list-here/">India</a> and England, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, will have an extra 260 minutes available to complete the game. As it is a morning match, the wait in case of rain can be done for another 260 minutes after the scheduled time.</p>



<p>But that's now the case in the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-player-battles-in-sa-vs-afg-semifinal/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-player-battles-in-sa-vs-afg-semifinal/">SA vs AFG semi-final</a>. The first semifinal will start at 8:30 p.m. local time. If the match is not completed on the scheduled day, then the first semifinal has a reserve day. That means the game will take place on Thursday. Notably, 190 minutes are given to complete the game on reserve day. If both teams can't play 20 overs, then a minimum of 10 overs are needed to get the result.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who will qualify for semi-final if the rain swips away both semi-finals?</h2>



<p>Well, it looks a bit impossible that the rain can spoil both semi-finals. But you can guarantee the weather in West Indies during this time. So if both semi-finals get washed out, then <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_national_cricket_team" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_national_cricket_team">India</a> and South Africa will qualify for the finals. Both teams finished their respective groups at the top, and on the basis of the Super 8 rankings, these two teams will qualify, and Afghanistan and England will be eliminated.</p>

<p>The star leg spinner of Afghanistan's Men's National Cricket Team, Rashid Khan, has joined the rest of his teammates in the city of Karachi, Pakistan ahead of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025. The Afghanistani squad arrived in the city after taking part in a warm-up match in the city of Lahore. Upon arrival at the team's hotel, the 26-year-old was greeted by the Pakistani duo of Babar Azam &amp; Haris Rauf. </p>
<p>It's worth mentioning that the Afghan Atalans had initially reached the city of Lahore on the 12th of February for the preparations for the Champions Trophy. The entire squad and support staff were escorted to the team hotel from the airport with tight security personnel guarding them. </p>
<p>The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) shared the video of the spinner's arrival in Lahore on their social-media handles, capturing the star player's arrival at the team hotel.<em><strong> "Look who just arrived! King Rashid Khan receives a warm welcome as he arrives at the team hotel in the city of Karachi."</strong></em></p>
<p><em></em>Watch the video here - https://x.com/ACBofficials/status/1890976361130438668</p>
<p>The video of the leg spinner's arrival quickly went viral, showcasing the warm reception he received from the Pakistani players. Haris Rauf, known for consistently touching the 145+ kmph mark, greeted the 26-year-old with a smile, hug &amp; a handshake, while Babar Azam, the former Pakistani skipper, and a top-notch player, engaged in a friendly chat with the Afghan spinner.</p>
<h2><strong>Afghanistan's difficult beginning before the Champions Trophy</strong></h2>
<p>Afghanistan is hoping to recover from a difficult start to its Champions Trophy preparations, and Rashid's arrival comes at a crucial moment. Afghanistan was soundly defeated by the Pakistan Shaheens in their opening warm-up game. With outstanding efforts from Hussain Talat (70 runs), Mohsin Riaz (61 runs), and Mohammad Irfan Khan (57 runs), the Shaheens amassed a commanding 314/8 in their 50 overs. Afghanistan's batting order collapsed to 170 all out in 38.4 overs as they were unable to handle the pressure. Shadab Khan, the captain of the Shaheens, took the lead with the ball, taking 3/29 and destroying Afghanistan's batting order.</p>

<p>This match is going to be really important for both teams as the winner of this game will get the chance to stay alive in the race of qualifying for the Semi-finals of the tournament and the loser will get eliminated from the tournament. </p>
<p>Ahead of this exciting contesrlt, Afghanistan's elite leg spinner Rashid Khan has a brilliant chance of creating history in this match. He has a chance to create a massive world record if he manages to dismiss two English batters as he will complete 200 ODI wickets. </p>
<p>He currently has 198 scalps to his name in 112 ODI matches so far and he takes two wickets versus the Three Lions, then he will complete a double century in the format. His best figures with the ball read 7-18 and the stats go on to show how important the 26-year-old has been for the Afghan Atalans. </p>
<p>If he picks up two more wickets, he will write his name in the record books. No Afghani bowler tillbnow has been able to pick up 200 wickets for the National Team and Rashid has an amazing opportunity to become the first ever bowler from his nation to do so.</p>
<h2><strong>Top three bowlers to take the most wickets for Afghanistan in ODI Cricket</strong></h2>
<p>Rashid is currently the highest wicket taker for Afghanistan in One Day Internationals having dismissed 198 batters. He's followed by veteran off spinner Mohammad Nabi who has 174 wickets to his name in 171 matches. His best figures read 5-17. Right arm pacer Dawlat Zadran is ranked third in this list, with 115 scalps in 82 matches. </p>
<h2><strong>The Afghanistan versus England match will be very important</strong></h2>
<p>The match between Afghanistan and England will be very important for both teams as they look to keep their hopes of making it to the semi-finals phase alive. Both these teams have played one match each in the Champions Trophy so far and have suffered defeat in it. England was defeated by Australia, while Afghanistan suffered a defeat against South Africa. If both the teams have to reach the semi-finals, then they will have to win the remaining matches at any cost.</p>

<p>The Afghanistan National Cricket Team's sensational win over England by a margin of eight runs in the Group-A fixture of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 has won the hearts of all Cricket lovers across the globe as this win helped them stay alive in the race of qualifying for the semi-finals. Not only this, the win also meant that Jos Butter-led England got knocked out of the tournament. </p>
<p>In this sensational clash played at the Gaddafi Stadium of Lahore, the Afghan Atalans batted first and put up a strong score of 325 runs on the board. Young Ibrahim Zadran played a magnificent knock of 177 runs, which is also the highest score ever recorded by a batter in the history of the tournament and this amazing knock allowed his team to cross the 300 run mark after losing two wickets in the powerplay. </p>
<p>The Three Lions, never looked comfortable and they eventually got bundled out for a score of 317 runs, and the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side won the encounter and changed the equation of the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. </p>
<p>Now, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan are gonna fight it out versus each other for the two semi-finals spots in Group-A. The Proteas are the table toppers in the group and they are followed by Australia at the second place and the Afghans are at the third place with a Net Run Rate (NRR) of 0.160.</p>
<h3><strong>Afghanistan's victory changed the equation of the Champions Trophy Semi-Final</strong></h3>
<p>The Proteas and the Kangaroos are in the top two positions of Group-B of the eight-team tournament with three points each to their name. The Afghans play Australia next on Friday, 28th of February at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Their win over the Three Lions has left all three teams in Group-B in a tight spot as they are all set to play do-or-die matches in the upcoming fixtures. </p>
<h2><strong>Afghanistan's semi-finals qualification scenario</strong></h2>
<p>Afghanistan will have to beat Australia to make it to the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the first time ever in their Cricketing history. On the other hand, Australia will also qualify directly with a win over Afghanistan and South Africa will also be guaranteed qualification in the knockout phase. </p>
<p>However, if Australia lose their last game versus the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side, then they will have to depend on the result of South Africa's last match against England on March 1. On the other hand, if South Africa also loses against England, they will have to ensure that they have a better net run rate than the 2023 ODI World Cup winners to advance to the semi-finals. South Africa's net run rate is currently +2.140, while the net run rate of the Steven Smith-led team is +0.475.</p>
<h2><strong>India-New Zealand in the top 2 of the Group-A standings</strong></h2>
<p>Teams of India and New Zealand are in the top half of the table of Group-A of ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The match between the two teams is to be played on March 2, which will decide whether Team India will be at the top or second place in its Group-A. The top team of Group-A will face the second-placed team of Group-B in the semi-finals, while the second-placed team of Group-A will face the top-placed team of Group-B.</p>
