Pakistan's performance in this match between Pakistan and Afghanistan is very good. Because today's third ODI match has started, but let's go back a bit. Pakistan's very good performance in the first and second ODIs has been a perfect match. Because we can see that they won the first match by a huge margin and the second match was very hard fought, but today Pakistan performed very well. Although Pakistan has collected 268 runs but it will be the biggest challenge for Afghanistan, because if Afghanistan can not complete this run today then Afghanistan is a complete failure. So Afghanistan must fight for their lives to win this match today.

In today's 3rd ODI match, Pakistan scored 268 runs in the first innings. Pakistan's batting performance today was not very good due to which they could not score runs like in the second ODI match. But in today's match, it cannot be said for sure whether Pakistan will win or lose, if Afghanistan batsmen can bat well, then there is a possibility of winning. In today's match, Pakistan batsman Babar Azam has done an amazing batting, he scored 60 runs off 86 balls and scored a half century. On the other hand, another great batsman Mohammad Rizwan batted brilliantly and he scored 67 runs off 79 balls unbeaten to score a half century. Every batsman batted well but could not score many runs however if they can bowl well in today's match Pakistan can definitely be expected to win.
Yes that's right, Pakistan's win or loss will depend on the bowling performance of the Pakistan team in today's match. If the bowlers of the Pakistan team can strengthen the bowling lineup then Pakistan can easily win this last match as well. Meanwhile in the second innings, Pakistan bowler Faheem Ashraf managed to pick up a wicket in 5.2 overs. Afghanistan still have nine more wickets left. Now let's see how strongly the bowlers of the Pakistan team can carry out the task of making the rest of the wickets fall

If Pakistan could score 300 runs like last match, they will have chances to win this match too but the Pakistan team will also try their hardest to win this match as there is an opportunity to climb to the top of the ODI rankings which they will not want to miss.

Patch condition is totally different from last match, I was hearing from commentators that in this match more than 50 times first team scores 250+ and only 9 times chasing team won the match. 250 is good score on this match and can be easily defended especially when you have top class bowling like Pakistan. Big team always have a pre planned according to pitch condition and many other factor and I think Pakistan was not looking for big scores today and that's why we have not seen aggressive batting before 40 overs except Fakhar Zaman who has own style of batting.

Pakistan gives chances new players too and i hope they will win this match and also will book no 1 spot in ODI cricket ranking chart .

as i told about pitch condition, now you can see Afghanistan batting that they are feeling so trouble to face pace bowlers and danger gurbaz already returned to pavilion while they have only 26 runs in 8 overs. After power play it will be more difficult to chase.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
I think Pakistan batting first is a good decision. But after batting carefully both openiors are gone Now the Current score of Pakistan is 59 runs in a loss of 2 wickets in 16 Overs. Farkhar Zaman only scored 27 runs in 33 balls and Imam Ul Haq 13 runs in 30 balls. Babar Azam is playing at 16 runs not out in just 27 balls and Muhammad Rizwan is playing at 2 runs. This partnership is very crucial if Babar and Rizwan make a 100 plus partnership then Pakistan to win this match. The next batter Soud Shakeel made his debut today his batting is also very amazing to watch. From Afghanistan 2 wickets pick Gulbadin Naib by giving 10 runs in 4 overs. An amazing display of bowling performance from Afghanistan. If Pakistan makes 250 plus runs it is a good target.

Pakistan at the moment struggling to score runs. Pakistan in 24th over going with scoring rate of 3.30 and that tells how hard it is to score runs. The Colombo surface is not ideal for batting and its already evident from Pakistani batting. The way Babr and Rizwan are batting it looks like Pakistan may only be able to score 200 runs.
One disappointing thing from this series is the involvement of crowd in the stadium. Locals have shown zero interest in this series and stadiums are empty throughout this series.  
After 30th Over Pakistan improved his run rate by scoring 85 runs in 10 overs. Now Pakistan score is 200 in a loss of 6 wickets in 43 Overs. Salman Ali Agha is playing at 9 not out and Muhammad Nawaz is playing at 3. Babar Azam scored 60 runs a good partnership between Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan scored 67 runs. Rashid Khan picked Babar Azam wickets. Unfortunately Soud Shakeel is run out in 9 runs 5 balls. Mujeeb Ur Rahman amazing bowling picked 1 wicket by just giving 50 runs in 10 Overs. I think Pakistan will give a 250 plus target for Afghanistan because 7 overs remaining and two Batsmen are playing. And 250 plus is a good total in this pitch Pakistan also have a quality bowling line.
If Pakistan could score 300 runs like last match, they will have chances to win this match too but the Pakistan team will also try their hardest to win this match as there is an opportunity to climb to the top of the ODI rankings which they will not want to miss. On the other hand this match is a big challenge for Afghanistan team. If they whitewash against Pakistan before the Asia Cup then their loss will have a negative impact on the Asia Cup as well. So, this is a very important match for both teams. Pakistan has won the toss and decided to bat, so will Afghanistan be able to chase and win in today's match now this is the great concern of the cricket fans.
If Pakistan could have scored 300 runs in this match, they would have had the best chance to win. But Afghanistan will try hard enough to win today's match and they will never want to lose today's match against Pakistan. As they lose the match and whitewash it will definitely have a negative effect on them in the Asia Cup so they will put in a good batting performance today to win the match. If Afghanistan batsmen can bat as per their second ODI then surely they can easily win the match against Pakistan but they will have to put up enough fight. Although Afghanistan have lost 1 wicket at the moment but if they play with pressure then they won't be able to score runs so they have enough wickets in hand so they need to bat well to score runs. Although the great batsmen are still there if they bat well then Afghanistan can win today against Pakistan and that is what most of the cricket fans are expecting from this match.

Pakistan have set a target of 268 runs. Afghanistan have started the chase in the right way. Maybe if Afghanistan team can avoid the wicket fall and develop opening partnership this is going to be a win for Afghanistan, and the first wicket have fallen at 17 runs. Pakistan having the best bowling line-up have got the ability to defend. Lets see if this is going to be a win for Afghanistan to avoid the whitewash.

Oh "Warning" doesn't sound good to me because it comes from the same school of thought "Spirit of the game". It baffles me how hard is to stay in the crease for non-strikers. Where does this spirit of the game vanish when batters knick to slip, keeper, or close fielders but refuse to walk out voluntarily?

I opted for 6 runs penalty because when the bowler steps out of the line for even mm, it's a no ball (Should the umpire also warn bowlers for not overstepping?) and the batting team gets a free hit so it sounded fair to me.

Well.. agreed with this. Cricket is known as a batsmen's game exactly due to these sort of rules (and expectations). It is OK for the batsmen to step outside the crease, while it is not being allowed for the bowlers. Actually the third umpire can check whether the batsman has overstepped or not, similar to what they are doing for the bowlers now. And I agree with the 6-run penalty. It sounds fair, given how much advantage the batsmen get when they break the laws of the game. Hopefully the ICC would consider changing the rules by adding a penalty clause.
Yeah, but the main problem is the majority of this "Spirit of the game" voice comes from a particular set of people who are still under the spell of the Victorian era and we have a fair amount of lackeys who do their bidding from time to time.

As i mentioned earlier, ICC will look into it if there is another controversy on the big match.

Afghanistan vs Pakistan
Third match of Afghanistan vs Pakistan OD series. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat. Batting the stipulated 50 overs, he lost 8 wickets and collected 268 runs. Pakistan's batting was not very good today. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam both of them played well today, except for the two of them, no other batsman could score 50+ runs. Mohammad Rizwan scored 67 runs, Babar Azam scored 60 runs. Afghanistan will have to bat on a target of 169 runs, today the target in the match is less runs. Afghanistan has a higher chance of winning than Pakistan in today's match. However, it cannot be said for sure that Afghanistan will win. If we look at the first match, we can see that Afghanistan's batting line is weak. Let's see which team can win in the end.

Basically, Pakistan's focus on this match is very low as they have secured the series. The win or loss of this match is not so important for the Pakistan team. But the match win is very important for Pakistan supporters gamblers. Around the final match of the ODI series, many gamblers have placed their bets in favor of the Pakistan team. If the Pakistan team loses today's match then Pakistan supporters gamblers will have to pay a huge amount of money.

Yes, almost everyone from Pakistan would be putting money on their team win today and why not, they want their team to be at the No. 1 spot of the ODI ranking and this will only happen if they win today's match.
Now when we see the match, Pakistan haven't been able to score some big runs today and they may end up scoring something between 250 -260 runs.

If we look at the last match performances of both teams, it seems that Afghanistan are capable of anything under 275 and we are up for another thriller ODI match.

At this time, Pakistan lost their 2 good players Imam Ul Haq and Fakhar Zaman in the first 10 overs but also these two epic players playing on the ground Babar Azam and Rizwan. They both are amazing players but both are cant play Afghanistan bowling comfortably. In this match, both teams have many replacements. Pakistan completed a 100 score with full of struggle, and this is a very important match for Pakistan because if Pakistan wins this match, so Pakistan become the no.1 ODI team.

Pakistan Vs Afghanistan 3rd ODI
The 3rd T20 match between Pakistan and Afghanistan was played today at 2:30 PM. I think Pakistan will make 2 changes in Squad Suod Shakkel and Tayyib Tahir will be played today and make an Odi debt. Faheem Ashraf may also play if any fast bowler Naseem or Shaheen Shah Rested Today. Suod Shakeel will replace Agha Suleman in the 3rd and Final ODI match he is a great player. Muhammad Nawaz will also play instead of Usama Mir. If the Pakistan team wins this match Pakistan is on top ICC ranking posting. But the Afghanistan team strongly came back to avoid a whitewash in the Series. I hope Pakistan will win this series with lead of 3-0.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bat today. Pakistan's opening pair is batting very carefully today. They haven't lost a single wicket in 8 overs yet. Fakhar Zaman scored 25 runs unbeaten. On the other hand, Imam Ul Haque collected only 9 runs from 21 balls. Imam Ul Haque's batting looks like he wants to stay at the crease today at any cost. The pitch seems to be bowling friendly, so the batsmen should try to stay in the crease. Playing too aggressively is likely to result in quick wickets.

Pakistan has already won the series by winning the first two matches. So today's match is not very important for Pakistan. Still, Pakistan will try their best to win today's match. Because this is the last match before the Asia Cup. They want to increase their confidence by winning this match. Pakistan's aim in the Asia Cup is undoubtedly to become champions.

Pakistan lost their first wicket at the end of the eighth over. Fakhar Zaman returned to the fold after collecting 27 runs. As you said, Pakistan batsmen should bat slower today. There is no need to score too many runs in the first 30-35 overs. They should try not to lose wickets. On a pitch where the bowlers are getting a lot of advantage. If Pakistan start losing wickets they will not be able to score even 200 runs. The pair of Babar and Imam need to bat responsibly and stay at the crease for a long time. Mohammad Rezwan is not in good form, so don't expect a big innings from him. Imam Ul Haque needs to continue his good performance. If they can score more than 260 in today's match I guess Pakistan will win. But it is very difficult to predict the performance of Pakistan players.
