Yes after winning toss and batting first was huge advantage for Afghanistan and their plan worked perfectly from start. Spin bowlers were major reason for their success as they did not let Pakistani batsmen get comfortable. This showed that Afghanistan team is strong in both batting and bowling. Partnership between Atal and Zardan gave them solid score putting Pakistan under pressure early. It was also surprising that Haris Rauf who struggled with his bowling had great performance with bat. By the way I will say Pakistan need more consistency.
