Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja made a significant impact by claiming the first wicket of the day. Azmatullah Omarzai in a thrilling 43rd match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 20. The promising Afghan all-rounder, fell victim to Jadeja's clever bowling and Axar Patel's sharp fielding.

The key moment came in the 12th over of Afghanistan's innings. Jadeja, bowling around the wicket, delivered a good length ball outside off. Omarzai, deep in his crease, attempted a powerful shot down the ground but misjudged it.

Earlier in the match, Bumrah scalped two crucial wickets of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and debutant Hazratullah Zazai in the powerplay.
