~snip~ But I will keep the Pakistan team ahead today too. Do you think Afghanistan will be able to turn around?
Pakistan is favourite in the entire series, not only in this match. The odds is more than 2.20× for Afghanistan to win, where it is around 1.60× for Pakistan now. Still, I'm expecting that Afghanistan will win the match today. And Pakistan and Afghanistan will be the finalists of this Tri-Series. There will be no chance for Afghanistan to win the trophy of this series if they also lose the match today by a big margin.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is back in pavilion, after hitting Saim Ayub for a six. Ibrahim Zadran and Sediqullah Atal are at the crease, with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Ayub bowling with a tight line from the other end. Yesterday Afghanistan won against the United Arab Emirates, but even in that match the margin was quite low. Once again, it was Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran who rescued them after Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out early. Let's see whether they can do the rescue act once more.
