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.

I agree with you. Batting first, Pakistan set a target of 283 runs. And that was enough to win. But opponent Afghanistan batted well today. Every batsman in the top order played very well. We can blame the Pakistan bowlers, but when the opposition batsmen are batting very responsibly, it becomes much more difficult for the bowlers to pick up wickets.
Pakistan squad does not have good spin bowlers, this is their weakness. Apart from Afridi, other pace bowlers are not doing very well. And crucially Pakistan's fielding was poor. I would say this is one of the reasons for their defeat. We have seen Pakistan's fielding bad against Australia as well. This team really needs to improve their fielding. They have to be more diligent.

Currently, Pakistan is a bunch of few quality players but as team they are worst in this event no one having any consistency and things are also going against them as well which is surely concern for their management because they need person which can lead from front right now they are lacking in leadership which is most important for any team.

We were hyped about their bowling before event, but they are worst with poor fielding and no depth in batting bringing results like these even right now mostly feeling they are still in event, but their body language is clearly saying they are having no motivation, and they need to regroup themselves if they want any positive result from the remaining matches in this event.

After Sarfraz they have no quality leader which can handle things with better way, hopefully after this event we will have overhaul in this team otherwise they could be down and out.

Before the World Cup I was very interested in Pakistan's bowling order. I saw Naseem Shah and Afridi bowling brilliantly. At the same time Haris Rouf was doing quite well. But in Asia Cup and World Cup we are seeing bad bowling from Pakistan. Only we have seen better bowling than Shaheen Shah Afridi in World Cup. Besides, no other bowler is doing well. Although the performance of the batsmen is erratic, they are doing quite well. But due to the poor performance of the bowlers, the team has been consistently defeated. After the World Cup, the Pakistan management should definitely reshuffle the team. And they need to find a talented spin bowler. I have never seen better bowling than Usama Mir.
