Afghanistan lost their 7 wickets in just 30 overs, and the score is under 170 so 100% Pakistan can easily win this match. It doesn't matter whether Pakistan's batting is good or bad because Pakistan's bowlers do something to win the match for Pakistan. Faheem Ashraf took 2 wickets, Shadab Khan also took 2 wickets and M.Nawaz also took 2 wickets. I can bet that Pakistan easily win this match. Agree or not?

Match between Pakistan and Afghanistan is very interesting. Pakistan played well and perform 268 runs with 8 fall of wickets Babar Azam and Agha Salman played well. Baber perform 60 runs and Agha Salman made 38 runs out of 31 runs. Rizwan also played excellent inning of 67 runs. Afghanistan score 17 runs with 1 wicket fall in 5.1 overs. Pakistan is strong side.Gurbaz made 5 runs in 15 balls , Riaz Hassan scored 9 runs in 20 balls. Afghanistan need 248 runs  to win.
Today's match Afghanistan have some chances to win because in the second match they gave Pakistan a target of 300 runs today Pakistan batted first and gave Afghanistan a target of 268 runs.  However, Afghanistan finished with 14 overs and they lost 2 wickets and scored 51 runs.  If they can save wickets and play the full 50 overs, then they can win today's match. But it is still not sure as the first match saw Afghanistan not being able to meet the target of just 201 runs and they lost all wickets for just 59 runs that day.
Today's pitch helped the bowlers a lot. 268 runs on this pitch I think is a good enough collection to win. I saw the batting of the Pakistani batsmen at the beginning of the innings. They batted very well. Even though their batting was slow from the beginning of the match, they batted responsibly. Especially Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan batted very well. The team managed to collect up to 268 runs due to the extraordinary performance of this pair.
Afghanistan is definitely going to lose. Their batting has been weak since the beginning of the innings. And they lost 5 batsmen to collect only 62 runs. If the team loses the wickets of Shahidullah and Mohammad Nabi quickly, Afghanistan will not be able to score even 100 runs. Today, Afghanistan will be defeated by a big margin like the first match.
Pakistan team proved to be the best in terms of bowling performance today. The current spinner kept bowling and fell wickets at the right time. Fall of 6 wickets for 94 runs in 31.2 overs. Here I can see Afghanistan team is going to lose all the wickets and won't be possible even today. Pakistan's powerplay almost saw the fall of two wickets, but Babar Azam and Rizwan kept the game alive in the later stages. But during this failure of the Afghanistan team, no batsman could field. I bet some money on Afghanistan. I myself assumed that since losing two matches, Afghanistan must win this last match, but it was not possible at all. Today, Afghanistan's losses are more than 70%.

After such a target of 269 runs can be called a big target. Still, if Afghanistan's top-order batsmen could have batted as responsibly as they did in the second match, the match might have been competitive. The performance of Afghanistan's top order batsmen was poor. This is why the match has become one-sided. I see no chance of Afghanistan winning. Riaz Hassan top scored with 34 runs for Afghanistan. Besides Shahidullah 29 runs and Mujeeb ur rahman 23 runs unbeaten. Afghanistan collected 132 runs in 36 overs, losing 7 wickets. Pakistan team is going to get an easy victory in today's match as well.

So,the third ODI was most expected by the Afghanistan people to win the third game of 3 ODI series.If Afghanistan win,it will give more spirit to the team Afghanistan before the World Cup.
Afghanistan is struggling as they already lost 7 wickets for just 107 runs, expected Afghanistan to give them a hard battle before they came out to bat but then they started loosing wickets left and right and they are struggling to put bat on ball, may be the pitch is slowing down and it is difficult to bat and Pakistan bowlers are not giving away easy balls to score either.

Afghanistan team is not good in chasing targets. This means the team is not able to handle pressure situations which is mostly due to the lack of experience. Already 5 wickets down scoring 64 runs, and this isn't going to be a win for Afghanistan team. Looking at the ongoing match Statics we can expect the innings of Afghanistan end within 100 runs. In recent ODI series played this is where Afghanistan unable to register a win.
Afghanistan again lost 1 more wicket and now they total lost 6 wickets in 28.4 overs and collect 75 runs till now. Their poor performance makes it look like they will never win this match.  No matter how Pakistan played when they bowled against Afghanistan they played very aggressively and did not let Afghanistan get close to their given target. Afghanistan collected the most runs in the 2nd match of these 3 matches, although Afghanistan looked like a likely team to win that match, but Pakistan beat them that day as well too. Pakistan is a really smart team

Pakistan on there way to 3-0 as Afghanistan have lost 7 wickets on just 97 runs. Pakistani spinners have done a good job by picking 5 wickets. The way Afghanistan fought in last game it was expected that today we will have a tough competition but Afghanistan failed to give tough competition today. With this win Pakistan will surely move to number one place in ODI ranking.

Afghanistan wants to win this match to avoid whitewash. Pakistan have already confirmed its series win. We know that Pakistan is strong enough to win the match, and Afghanistan is performing good in the previous match. Maybe something similar in the last match will make it an interesting one to watch. Both the teams find this series a opportunity to improve and understand well about the position of the players.

The first match was best performance by the team Pakistan,but the second ODI is like equal opportunity one.The bowling of Pakistan had crushed the Afghanistan batsman.The impressive one from the Afghanistan in the second ODI.The win of Pakistan was made on 49.5 overs,this shows the pressure of the Afghanistan bowlers in the next ODI.This shows the team effect of the Afghanistan.So,the third ODI was most expected by the Afghanistan people to win the third game of 3 ODI series.If Afghanistan win,it will give more spirit to the team Afghanistan before the World Cup.

It is possible to win the match by meeting the target of 268 runs but it is doubtful whether it will be possible for Afghanistan. It doesn't matter whether Pakistan plays well or badly. no matter how badly Pakistan plays with Afghanistan, eventually Afghanistan plays even worse. Afghanistan lost five wickets for 66 so it is expected that Afghanistan will play this match like the first match and lose very badly against Pakistan.  It is very ironic that Afghanistan is losing all 3 matches in a row against Pakistan

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.
Pakistan give a target of 269 runs in a loss of 8 wickets in 50 Overs. Salam Ali Agha played a good inning 38 runs in 30 balls and Muhammad Nawaz also played 30 runs in 25 balls that helping Pakistan to reach 268 runs. While chasing down the target Afghanistan batting collapsed to 62 in a loss of 5 wickets in 22 overs. Very poor batting performance by the Afghanistan team. Faheem Ashraf picked up 2 wickets by just giving 17 runs in 6 Overs and Shadab Khan also picked up 2 wickets by giving only 11 runs in 6 overs. Afghanistan needs  206 runs in 27 overs to win this match that quite impossible. I think Pakistan will win this match easily.

Today, Afghanistan will be defeated by a big margin like in the first match.

Pakistan are in good position at the moment. Afghanistan have scored 52 runs in 15 overs and lost 2 wickets. The track is not much batting friendly. Required run rate has also gone up from 6 and if Afghanistan doesn't increase the pace of scoring runs then it may go further high. Afghanistan always gave there best while playing against Pakistan and this is something Pakistan must take seriously.

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.

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.
