Pakistan are fan favorites in any tournaments they play but Afghanistan has shown their potential by taking down the goliaths of cricket in many international events.
Pakistan have won the last five encounters against Afghanistan and they would surely want to keep the winning streak going as the Pakistani squad is looking for a top four finish to excel in the semi finals of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
The Afghanistan team had their major success in this year’s World Cup as they defeated the mighty England. Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s anchor innings of 80 (57) and Rashid Khan’s exceptional bowling paved the way for this massive upset.
