Only in this match Pakistan's bowling performance was not bad, but also in the previous matches Pakistani bowlers did not perform well. In this World Cup Pakistan has both fast and spinners, but it is a fact that there is a severe lack of fast bowling and spin bowling which can create problems for the opposition team at any time. Who has the ability to turn the dice of the match at any time.

Pakistan team should focus on their spin bowling at the moment because their spin is not up to the standard. Shadab has been off-colour for the past year or so; he picked wickets at an average of 42 since 2019. I think it is time to let go of Shadab, the way they did let go of Fakhar. Try Usama or any other spinner. Nawaz is also not performing his role as an allrounder. These two are burdens for the Pakitan team.
Afghanistan got off to a good start but with quick wickets falling at key points, Afghanistan are now under a lot of pressure. Currently, Afghanistan have lost 4 wickets and collected 165 runs in 28.3 overs. After watching Afghanistan's first game, I thought that Afghanistan might put England in a tough spot today, but Afghanistan's rapid wicket fall will not make it possible for Afghanistan to reach 300 runs at the moment. If Afghanistan could score an 300 runs in today's match, Afghanistan would have a chance to win this match. However, let's see how many runs Afghanistan can score in the remaining in the remaining overs.
Afghanistan's middle order has been a problem for them in the last few games. Today, again they played ordinary cricket. Rashid is looking good, and he might score a few odd runs, but this will not be enough to put Afghanistan in a leading position. The game will depend on the AFG spinners, how they will be used on this pitch and how well they bowl today. England will win the game comfortably.
