Afghanistan is quite strong at the moment. The winning probability that was in favour of Pakistan before the start of Afghanistan innings have now moved in favour of Afghanistan. The winning probability was now 75% in favour of Afghanistan even after the wicket of the best performer Gurbaz who scored 65 from 53 balls. Zadran is playing good and someone needs to support, so that he can continue to score and stand wicket. Lets see if Afghanistan can make this a record winning match.

Currently, Afghanistan run scores about 184 and they loose only one wicket after 32 over. They need more 99 run from 18 overs. The current run rate is over 5.75 and the required run rate is about 5.5 so there is no doubt that they are in a good condition right now. So in today's match I think Afghanistan will win very easily.
Although Pakistan is slightly ahead of Afghanistan in terms of strength, they are going to lose this match today because of Pakistan's bowling performance. Pakistani bowling performance today is not promising. Although I do not have much comment on their batting performance.Because 282 is not a bad score as per ODI format, if they could have done a bit better in bowling performance today then I think they would have more chances to win this match. Anyway, I think Afghanistan will be able to pick up their second win with this match.

Afghanistan is playing very well. Despite getting a target of 282 runs, they are playing with a lot of confidence. Afghanistan need only 88 runs in 15 overs I think Afghanistan can fully fill it. And since they are in the last stage of the game and they still have enough wickets, now they should not be scared and try to hit for 4/6 and they are doing that. Afghanistan's run rate is not bad and they are very likely to win. And Afghanistan need to win this match as they are half points behind Pakistan. So they need to win this match to overtake Pakistan in the points table

In the current situation, Pakistan's winning chances are less and Afghanistan's winning chances are more, which is a sad thing for Pakistan which was a stronger team initially.

The team of Pakistan has 18 chances and the team of Afghanistan has 81 chances to win according to Cricinfo. Pakistan bowlers should need to try to out Ibrahim Zadran because he is playing very well. What timing, I am saying that Pakistan bowlers need to try to out Ibrahim Zadran and Hassan Ali just get rid of him. I think this is the best time ever for Pakistan if they want to come back in this match.

Anyway, this is a great opportunity for Pakistan to come back into the game by taking some quick wickets and getting them really quickly.

Shafique got out with 58 runs in 75 balls. The target of runs given by Pakistan team today Chances of winning this run are very small for Pakistan team. Now Afghanistan team came to bat. They scored 130 runs in 21 overs. So far Afghanistan team has not lost any wicket. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 65 runs from 52 balls. Ibrahim Zadran scored 65 runs from 75 balls.

Pakistan played really well towards the end thanks to Iftikhar and Shadab who helped them reach a competitive total, but Afghanistan are playing well too thanks to Gurbaz and Zadran whose partnership is growing.

Am surprised Pakistan didn't grab a single wicket yet though I still feel that they will win since Afghanistan is known to collapse pretty easily.

Today Afghanistan doing impressive job specially after winning against England their moral is high, and they are feeling comfortable with today playing with four spinners was really brave decision which works for them even in last five overs both Shadab and Iftikhar done good job for Pakistan but still this is not enough as now Afghanistan openers are also having very aggressive approach against Pakistan useless attack which is having no depth and quality for taking early wickets in this event which is the biggest failure for them.
Pakistani spinners are also not effective as they need to be right now look like Afghanistan is going to have their first win against Pakistan in ODI and World cup Usama Mir and Haris Rauf both concede 53 runs in 7 overs which is clearly favoring Afghanistan.

Pakistan set Afghanistan a target of 283 runs. Afghanistan need to bat 50 overs and score 5.6 runs per over to win against Pakistan. A target of 283 runs is safe enough for Pakistan where the opponents are Afghanistan. Afghanistan's bowling line-up is excellent but their batting has always been weak. How well Afghanistan's batsmen can do against bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf and how comfortable they bat is a big question. Pakistan's win or loss depends entirely on Pakistan's bowlers, if Pakistan's bowlers can bowl normally against Afghanistan today, Pakistan will win against Afghanistan.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a big factor for Afghanistan so Babar Azam will surely want to get this big fee out quickly.

I think the target of 283 runs on Indian pitches is not that strong. If Afghanistan's batsmen stay at the crease and provide a good start in the opening, their chances of winning the match can increase. Pakistan has one bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi who can be trusted more.Haris Roof performance has been very poor so far.Afghanistan team is not considered as a strong team, but Pakistan's bowling side is not that strong, so Afghanistan's chances of victory are bright.

Pakistan has won in previous matches also because of their good batting. Nine overs have been played so far, and the Afghanistan team has scored 60 runs without any wicket. From which it can be easily guessed that Pakistani bowlers have not been able to take any wicket of Afghanistan or control their run rate so far. Which is definitely disappointing for the Pakistani team.

Today, Pakistan team has collected good runs all together. Because they patiently defended the wicket until the end of the game. Afghanistan's bowling performed well as they managed to score only 282 runs in the last over. And Shadap Khan has performed very well in the last stage. And the two batsman duo who survived till the end Shadap khan and Iftikhar scored good runs for the team. And especially if Pakistan team can give good bowling performance then definitely win against Afghanistan. Because so far Afghanistan team has not won any match.

Afghanistan will have high pressure from the beginning as 282 runs is a good score. Afghanistan have got good bowling line-up and I don't know whether they'll make it possible or not. Afghanistan won against England by defending, and that could've boosted their confidence. Pakistan had got good bowling line-up, but their performances weren't to the expected level in the world cup matches. If Afghanistan have good opening partnership, then we can expect fight back and the match could probably end in a close margin result.

In the Pakistan vs Afghanistan match, Pakistan managed to score fairly well, Pakistan set a target of 283 runs to Afghanistan. Pakistan team performed well. Pakistan can definitely win the match against Afghanistan, if they can perform very good in bowling they easily win this mach. Because Afghanistan have lost three of the four matches they have played so far, it shows that Afghanistan are not a very good team. Pakistan can win against Afghanistan today also just needs a good performance.

just to remind you that Afghanistan has already won match against England. They have a quality of spin bowling and if you noticed Afghanistan spinners bowled 38 over today. Pakistan started very slow which is the reason they didn't score high runs on the board. Abdullah shafiq and Babar azam played good inining but they played so many dot balls. The last five overs proved a very good where Iftikhar hit some exclusive sixes. Now see what Pakistani batsmen do to defend this high total

Last 30 balls for Pakistan and they are like make or break situation for Pakistan. Score is 221 runs and Pakistan must try to score as much as they can in last 5 overs. They won't be able to score 280 but must try to score above 250 to have a psychological advantage. Babar innings really rescued Pakistan from a disaster.

I started the match at 47th over, where Iftikar was hitting sixes, he got out and last over turned out good for AFG and innings closed at 282, didn't know they were in position to not even score 250.

If Afghans can chase this total, it'll be highest chase for them, current highest is 274.

One thing I noticed is Babar relied heavily on running between the wickets today, out of 74 runs he made, only 4 fours and 1 six, a mere 22 runs.

Babar Azam got out at 74 runs. And Pakistan already lost 5 wickets and now they made 213 runs. Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmad are on the Pitch. And still I think that Pakistan will not cross 250 runs because they lost 5 wickets already and played 44 overs. Yes there is a Golden chance because Noor Ahmad bowled 10 overs so this is the bonus point which can pull Pakistan to 280 runs.

Pakistan set a good total of 282 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 50 Overs. Pakistan gets a solid total with Babar Azam scored 74 runs alongside the good performance of Iftikhar Ahmed scored 40 runs in 27 balls and Shadab Khan scored 40 runs in 38 balls in the final overs. 40 overs of World Class Spin by Afghanistan negotiated well by Babar Azam and Iftikhar was brilliant in the end. Afghanistan spin bowling very well Noor Ahmad picked 3 important wicktes by giving 49 runs in 10 Over. Naveen ul haq also picked 2 wickets by giving 52 runs in 7 Overs. The target of 283 runs for Afghanistan is good now Pakistan bowler doing job to win this match.

Saud Shakeel lost their wicket and the wicket was hit by Rashid Khan, and after the wicket of Saud Shakeel Shadab Khan came and he also played very well.

In the previous matches, we see that Shadab Khan's performance was not good and the Babar Azam entered Usama Mir in the playing 11 but he dropped the catch so that’s why Shadab Khan played again. I think Usama Mir won’t play again in this tournament because when Hassan Ali dropped catch, he dropped their career for two years and now maybe Usama Mir dropped from the team. Hassan Ali did come back to the team because he has a very good record and he is a senior player.

Pakistan team has already lost one more wicket and collected 151 runs for 3 wickets in 32 overs. If they could have sustained the partnership they had in the beginning, then they could have scored 200 runs by now. But unfortunately due to the loss of wickets the run rate has decreased. But if Pakistan can't score above 280 today, it will be very difficult to win against Afghanistan. Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel are two batsmen at the crease at the moment, if they can form a good partnership then they can collect good runs.

Good decision by the Pakistani team to bat first after winning the toss. I was expecting it as batting in the second half is not that easy because the pitch tends to get slower. Already the Pakistan batters can be seen struggling as the pitch is slow and still, they managed to hit a six and break the jinx. Afghanistan's sloppy fielding prevented them from getting a wicket and I am sure there would be many more from the Afghan team. Both Pakistani openers have now given a good start to Pakistan and hopefully, they are able to maintain the momentum. The current run rate is above 6 which is encouraging for the Pakistani team.

Pakistan lost two wickets and the Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan are on the pitch and if this Partnership will continue. So I am sure Pakistan will go above 300 runs. At this time Pakistan is at 120 runs and unfortunately Pakistan lost one more wicket while I am writing my post. Muhammad Rizwan got out. Noor Ahmad is showing his talent and already got 2 wickets.

And now I think Pakistan will not go above 250 runs.

Pakistan scored 56 without losing a wicket in the first power play which was more than enough. Imam-ul-Haq was out in the 11th over, Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam put on a good partnership. Pakistan came under a lot of pressure after Abdullah Shafique got out in the 23rd over and Mohammad Rizwan in the 24th over. Babar Azam batted very well in today's match, got out with 74 runs off 92 balls. So far, Pakistan have scored 206 runs in 42 overs with the loss of 5 wickets. Pakistan seems to be able to score 270+ runs if wickets do not fall. If Pakistan scores 270+ runs, chances of victory will be high.

It is not correct to predict the nature of pace by looking at the way Pakistan play cricket. So far Pakistan have collected 207 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. But if Pakistan can collect more than 270 runs then today's match will be a lot of contest with Afghanistan. But Pakistan's bowling is much more aggressive than Afghanistan's bowling. So Afghanistan's total today will not cross the target of 270 runs. Moreover, Pakistan's run rate is consistent with the over. If Pakistan can perform well in the last five overs, a lead of 270 runs will be possible.
