Pakistan vs Afghanistan Match Summary

Toss: Pakistan opt to bat first While the first wicket fell in the very first over of their innings, Saim Ayub & Fakhar Zaman then helped stabilise Agha Salman. Pakistan crossed the line to 41 during powerplay and then went towards triple digits before the final overs.

Pakistan’s top scorer was Fakhar Zaman, who managed 27, while Mohammad Nawaz contributed 25 and Faheem Ashraf hit a quickfire 15 off eight balls. These stats contributed towards Pakistan as they made about 141/8 from their 20 over allocation.

Chasing the target in Afghanistan’s first innings, Gurbaz was out at seven runs Even though Atal and Ibrahim Zadran nominally brought some stability to the innings, they kept losing wickets in rapid succession. Mohammad Nawaz came to the party and picked up vital wickets of top Afghan batters.

Nawaz 5/19, Abrar Ahmed 2/17, Sufiyan Muqeem 2/9 Pakistan won the match by 75 runs as Afghanistan bundled them out for just 66 in 15.5 overs.

Why Pakistan Won the Match

Pakistan were able to score in the middle and lower order then come at Afghanistan with spin, this was the main difference between the two sides. Afghanistan’s batting then crumbled to such depths that Pakistan’s 141 was by no means a large T20 total became more than enough.

Mohammad Nawaz was at the forefront in chasing the required runs to seal a victory. With a bat, he indeed fetched little for Pakistan but his 25 runs were essential ones and with the ball, he wrecked Afghanistan’s chase by taking five wickets. Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem were fantastic support, whilst Shaheen Afridi got the new ball rolling by claiming Gurbaz at the top of order.
