Fine harakiri from the Pakistan!

After a 171/1, it was straight forward chase but 2 quick wickets, including a big mix-up or what some might call a brain fade moment between Rizwan and Imam messed things up. This is the last recognized pair and the match is heading into the T-20 scenario. An interesting end is on the card if this pair survives.

Edit

Surprisingly Iftikhar-Shadab duo went into tuk-tuk mode.

The match has now become competitive and Pakistan's chances of victory now seem slim. Pakistan's top order got off to a great start. The partnership of Imam Ul Haque and Babar Azam was very effective. But then Pakistan's middle-order players could not maintain consistency. Mohammad Rizwan scored only 2 runs. Usama mir failed to collect any runs. This made it difficult for Pakistan to win the match

Iftikhar and Shadab are batting now. They are both very good batsmen. But Pakistan need 46 runs from 24 balls. They have to score around 12 runs per over. The way the Afghanistan bowlers are bowling, it is very difficult to collect 46 runs in just 4 overs. Even then I think Pakistan still has a chance to win if Iftikhar and Sadab are at the crease.

In Afghanistan vs Pakistan today 2nd ODI match, Afghanistan came out to bat first and set a target of 300 runs in 50 overs. After some time, Pakistan will come out to bat. If Pakistan wants to win this match, Pakistan team will have to perform well in batting. Pakistan team Well done in the bowling line for which Afghanistan team could not give much target of runs. Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan team bowled 10 overs and took 2 wickets with 58 runs.

In this match Afghanistan batsmen batting amazingly set a high total of 301 runs in 50 Overs. From Afghanistan Rahmanullah Gurbaz brilliant 151 runs in 151 balls and Ibrahim Zadran scored 80 runs in 101 balls he is just 20 runs short of his well deserved century. Pakistan bowlers struggling to get wickets only Shaheen Shah Afradi picks up 2 Wickets by just giving 58 runs in 10 Overs. Now Pakistan currently scores 173 runs in loss of 2 wickets in 32 Overs. They Need 128 runs in 18 overs to win this match and Series and 8 wickets in hand. Imam ul Haq batting beautifully playing at 70 runs not out and Muhammad Rizwan is playing at 2 not out. I think Pakistan will win this match if this Partnership is more than 50 runs.

In today's match, Afghanistan has managed to set up a good score. They are currently in a favorable position in the ongoing match but the match outcome is still uncertain because Pakistani batsmen can destructive at any moment. Moreover, the required run rate isn't excessively high either. At this time, Pakistan needs 64 runs off 38 balls, and according to the required run rate, they need about 10 runs per over. This doesn't seem too difficult since Pakistan still has 4 wickets in hand. Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed both trying to make good partnership, if Afghanistan can pick up them early then good things will be in store for them in this match. However, the actual match is yet to conclude. During this challenging time, those who can perform well will win in today's match.

Afghanistan bowlers doing great job for the side by picking 3 wickets and Pakistan still needs 115 runs on 90 balls Afghanistan are in command at the moment, required run rate is going up. Scoring 7.60 runs in every over is not an easy thing and Pakistan need to bring it down before it starts touching 8. Imam ul haq is the last hope for Pakistan and he is not out on 88 runs.

Not only ball but their batting was too good today. Gurbaz done a magnificent job because it's not easy to score hundred and fifty against world best bowlers. Patch is looking in the favor of batsmen and bowlers are facing trouble here but still i will appreciate Afghanistan team and they prove that their batting is improving for Asia cup

Pakistan lost six wickets and still need 71 runs in 45 balls. Iftikhar and shadab are still on the crease. both players love to play aggressive but today status is little change. both have not just to score but also save wicket because if anyone out here then no other batsmen has ability to win this match.

After 31 overs, Pakistan's total is 172/2. Opener Fakhar Zaman was dismissed with 30 runs and captain Babar Azam was dismissed with 53 runs. Imam Ul Haque is still unbeaten with 70 runs. He is batting very carefully. Slowly progressing towards the century, at the same time leading the team towards victory.

Pakistan need 129 runs in 19 overs. Is it too difficult a task? I don't think so. Because the Afghanistan players collected 143 runs in the last 19 overs. That's why I don't think Pakistan will have a problem winning this match. Experienced players like Rizwan and Imam ul Haque are still at the crease. If the Pakistan team does not lose several wickets at once, then Pakistan will win easily.

Pakistan looks to be in a very comfortable position, as they have reached 146/1 in just 26 overs. Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq are batting very smoothly and the Afghan bowlers are getting frustrated. I am a bit perplexed with today's play. This is the same ground (Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium) where Pakistan got bowled out for a total of 201, and Afghanistan got bowled out for 59. So what suddenly changed for today's match, that made this ground a batsmen's paradise? Afghan spinners are looking quite ordinary out there.

Pakistan is far behind in terms of run rate compared to Afghanistan. Because I mean the wickets fell in the power play but Afghanistan were very careful about the wickets falling. Today's field is in favor of the batsmen because everyone is able to collect runs. Pakistan is likely to win this match today because the two batsmen present in the field so far Imam UL Haque and Babar azam are the two best batsmen of the Pakistani team. And if it can collect some more nights then it is definitely more likely to win. It is certain that Pakistan will have to be careful on the wicket side if they want to win.

With a target of 301 runs, Pakistan got off to a good start against Afghanistan. At the moment, Pakistan's collection is 146 runs for one wicket after 26 overs. Pakistan currently need to score 6.46 runs per over to win whereas Pakistan are currently scoring 5.62 runs per over. Pakistan now need just 152 runs to win. It must be said that Imamul Haque and Babar Azam have made a good partnership for Pakistan at the moment where Babar Azam is unbeaten on 42 runs and Imamul Haque is unbeaten on 62 runs. Afghanistan have certainly batted well in the first innings so they will need to collapse this partnership very quickly if they are to win this match. If these two batsmen are able to get Afghanistan out very quickly then it will be a little easier for Afghanistan to come back in this match.

Match looks quite even at this point. Afghanistan made 300/5 and in return Pakistan are at 103/1 after 17.4 overs. Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam have added 51 runs for the second wicket partnership, after Fazalhaq Farooqi managed to get the wicket of Fakhar Zaman. Rashid Khan has been introduced into the attack and it needs to be seen whether he will be able to break this partnership. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi bowled 8 overs between them till now, and so far they failed to take any wickets. The required run rate (6.15) looks very much achievable.

We can clearly see the dedication in the Pakistan team's batting and they are pretty much serious with their game plan. Pakistan need around 184 runs in 30 overs which gives them the required average of a little over 6 runs. With nine wickets in hand, this is very much under the control of the Pakistan team at the moment.

Imam-ul-Haq is looking good not out at 50+ runs while Babar Azam has scored 30+ runs and looking to build up a winning partnership.

Afghanistan played very badly in first ODI they lost all wickets for just 59 runs and won the match but played very well in today's match and gave Pakistan a target of 300 runs. Pakistan is under a lot of pressure in today's match. Pakistan may not be able to beat Afghanistan today. If Afghanistan wins today's match then 3rd match will be very important for both teams and if Pakistan wins today's match and crosses 300 runs then there will be no problem for Pakistan even if they don't win 3rd match. They can stay relaxed

Considering the fact that they (Afghanistan) managed to score only 59 runs in the first match, 300 must be a satisfying score for them. Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 150 runs and together with Ibrahim Zadran they managed to score an opening partnership of 227 runs.

Pakistan started the chase well and are 75/1 in the 12th over. They can easily win this match provided they do not lose unnecessary wickets from here on in.

Pakistan would ideally want to win today's match and seal the series for themselves.

Afghanistan batsmen have done compensation for there poor performance in first ODI and now its job of bowlers. Pakistan at the moment steady in the run chase. After 17 overs Pakistan have lost just one wicket and scored 101 runs so far. Babar Azam and Imam are on the crease but still a long way to go. AFGHANISTAN bowlers must try to get rid of both these batsmen as quickly as possible to keep Pakistan out of the contest.

A target of more than 350 on this pitch would have helped Afghanistan win. It is very difficult to win by giving a target of 301. The bowlers are not getting any advantage on this pitch. If only Pakistan's batsmen had not batted like fools, they would have easily beaten Afghanistan today.

Pakistan lost their first wicket by 52 runs. Babar and Imam have already collected 76 runs. Imam is unbeaten with 55 runs and Babar 31 runs. , only 23 overs completed. Pakistan need 173 runs in 28 overs to win. It will not be difficult to collect. Because Pakistan lost only one batsman. Pakistan squad has several experienced batsmen who are capable of scoring big.

Afghanistan had a poor performance in the first ODI but gave a befitting reply today. In the first match, Afghanistan failed by losing all wickets for just 59 runs, but today Pakistan could not perform very well in terms of bowling. To which some Afghanistan batsmen gave a befitting reply Gurbuz and Ibrahim Zardan these two men put the Afghanistan team at the highest point of runs today. Gurbuz alone scored 151 runs off 151 balls, which is very pleasing to me. Because the number of runs and bowling are the same. If Pakistan wants to win in this second ODI match today, the batsmen must work hard. As Afghanistan meanwhile have collected 300 runs it seems very difficult for Pakistan to achieve.

Despite playing poorly in the first ODI, they improved their game in the next match against Afghanistan. But the way Afghanistan batted and scored runs today, we can definitely say that Afghanistan has the best chance of winning. We have already seen that Pakistan started a good batting performance to reach the target given by Afghanistan but they have already lost one wicket. Although today's match is expected to be tough for Pakistan but if Pakistan batsmen can play the game then there will be a chance to win easily. Since Pakistan's two batsmen are still at the crease, Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam, if Afghanistan can't get them out, the match might go against Afghanistan. Of course, if Afghanistan has to win today's match, then it has to do a good bowling performance, otherwise it can lose the match against Pakistan, it is not possible to say for sure.

300 used to be a daunting target in the last decade but not in recent times, especially on the flat decks.

This scoreline might look good, considering the Afghans were up against a quality bowling lineup but IMO they wasted a good start and they had a chance to touch a 320-ish target.

So, not sure if it's a winning score and it shouldn't be too tough for Pakistan. Unless the spin trio comes to the rescue again.

I saw the condition of the pitch, it is not possible to say whether the collection of 300 runs is enough to win on this pitch. However, Afghanistan's performance was very slow at the beginning of the innings. They collected only 86 runs in the first 20 overs. They collected 227 runs in the first wicket pair. After such a big collection in the first pair, I thought the team would deliver a target of more than 320. As still several experienced batsmen will get a chance to bat. But in the end their innings stopped at 300 runs.
Pakistan bowled well in the death overs. In the last 10 overs, perhaps Afghanistan managed to collect 74 runs. Rahmanullah Girbaz played an excellent innings of 151 runs. He collected 151 runs off 151 balls. However, it is difficult to win against a team like Pakistan, given a target of 301 runs on a flat pitch.

As Afghanistan's opening pair have batted brilliantly, they should have at least given a target of more than 320/330. 300 runs is not enough to win yet. If the bowlers perform well, a win of 300 runs is possible. But the problem is that Pakistan's batsmen are very experienced. Pakistan's batsmen will take advantage of such a flat pitch very well. Afghanistan's bowlers are talented enough but they are unlikely to do well against Pakistan's batsmen.
Pakistan batsmen are batting very carefully. They collected only 23 runs in 5 overs. They know very well that they will have no problem winning this match if they don't lose quick wickets. This is why they are batting slowly even though the target is big.

Pakistan have just lost their first wicket. Fakhar Zaman returned to the dressing room with 30 runs off 34 balls. Fazalhaq Farooqi took the wicket of Fakhar. Pakistan team lost the first batsmen by 52 runs in 9 overs. Imam ul Haque and Babar Azam are now at the crease. Imam Ulhaque batted very responsibly in the first match and was at the crease for a long time. His batting is good enough in today's match as well. Babar Azam on the other hand is a very experienced batsman. If he stays at the crease, it will not be a difficult task for Pakistan to score 300 runs. The performance of Afghanistan's bowlers is not too bad. Despite the flat pitch, they are able to bowl quite well. Afghanistan have absolutely no chance of winning the match. If the bowlers perform their duties properly, Afghanistan also has a chance to win.
