Batting first, Pakistan amassed 282, which was enough runs to win against Afghanistan. Pakistan's batting line is good but bowling line is not good. If Afghanistan's opening batting is not good, it becomes difficult for them to bat at the end. But today the opening batting has been very good. Afghanistan's opening batting partnership of 130 runs, they went a long way to win. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed for 65 runs, Ibrahim Zadran was dismissed for 87 runs. Afghanistan's batting has been excellent. Comparatively, Pakistan could not improve their bowling line. If Pakistan could have taken wickets early then Pakistan would have had a chance to win. But in the end Afghanistan won by 8 wickets, congratulations Afghanistan team for winning.
Afghanistan played outstanding cricket in the match against Pakistan. They were exceptional in all three departments. Pakistan got a good opening start and after that AFG spinners almost dried up the runs for Pakistan. In the end, Pakistan did give a very good and competing total to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan batters played with positive intent, and the Pakistan bowling and fielding were very pathetic, even a layman can see what was wrong with their bowling. Too much width at the start and poor spin bowling was the main reason Pakistan was on the losing side.
I think the culprit is Pakistan's bowling and poor fielding.
