Poor captaincy by Afg. When spinners are proving hard to score off, he goes with pace. Should have bowled out Rashid and Mujeeb. No point them coming on when you only have 15 to defend in 2 overs.
 
The Afghans have been really stupid all World Cup and prior to it. From the change of captaincy right to this moment. May be along with opening the batting and bowling all his overs Gulbadin will also keep wickets.

Why is he bowling himself when the spinners are bossing the game? Unthinkable captaincy.

Shadab needs to just get Imad on strike and not try to be a hero.
 
Excellent runout there from Afghanis. Wahab and Imad are both sloggers and bowling conservatively might force an error here.!
 
It's Pakistan game now. Sarfaraz will owe Imad a ton. Without him, he would have been hammered to the ground.
 
Gulbadin really messed it up with that one bad over. What could've been...[DOUBLEPOST=1561827026][/DOUBLEPOST]And he's bringing himself on too, I'm not really sure what he's thinking.
 
Wow what a match! Now the whole of Pakistan will be supporting India tomorrow against England which is epic! Afghanistan had Pakistan on the mat and that one over by Naib spoiled it for them. Imad deserves a huge applause for this innings. Amazing knock and he got Pakistan out of the jail here. Also those runs Wahab Riaz scored off Rashid were gold.
 
I think Pakistan will smash Afghan bowlers all over the park. The team has gained some sound momentum and peaking just at the right time. It should be an easy win tomorrow.
I expect Pakistan to hand them a thrashing.

What a boring match! Absolutely one-sided :rolleyes
 
Only Pakistan can turn a simple chase to such a difficult one.
Asian teams need to realize the reasons as to why they Afghanistan spinners are so successful against them than the non-Asian teams.
As a whole Afghanistan should be very happy with their progress in this WC. They need to work on their fitness and fielding and some how keep the politics and corruption out of their cricket.
 
Guess the degree of a good cricket team Afghanistan would have been had they began playing in 20th century. Absolutely gem of a stuff against Pakistan today and India the other day given that they've only been around for 10 years or so.
