Sam Curran's five-for dismantled Afghanistan as England notched a five-wicket win in their opening ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match in Perth on Saturday. Curran sizzled with a five-wicket haul, giving away only 10 runs, while Ben Stokes (2/19) and Mark Wood (2/23) picked two wickets apiece to bundle out Afghanistan for 112. Defending a modest total, the Afghans made a game out of it but England eventually completed the task in 18.1 overs. Earlier, Ibrahim Zadran top-scored for Afghanistan with a run-a-ball 32 while Usman Ghani contributed to the total score with a 30. The Afghanistan batters were unable to stitch any substantial partnership as England bowlers bossed the proceedings.
