Hayden effect is clear on this batting lineup 

They got Vernon philander as well

[Franco Vazquez]

With this bowling lineup, Afghanistan needs to score 200 against big teams to win matches

Why so sad?

Wanted Afg to win

We need to groom Samad for this role.. A better franchise might help.  Someone like MI.

Our fake striker and finisher Pandya should learn from Ashif Ali. He is klusiner incarnated.

He has looked like a useless hack every other time ive seen him. Either he has gotten a second wind or these conditions suit him.

yes Rauf seems better bowler and Shaheen more accurate.

 

We got Thala to take it deep

They ahve to target their spinners big. Imad, Shadab.

On these slow pitches players like him are deadly. They can hang back and play all round the wicket. 

Hardik also hang back

Elaborate on this point pls...how and why you say so?

[LordPrabhzy]

Pandya is the real fekuu... the issue is you cannot depend on ANYONE in the Indian middle to lower oder to power hit away to finish games.. 

 

Well played Pakistan- Unlucky Afghanistan... unless you sort out your pace department your good spinners can only do so much.. every time the death overs spoil the hard work.

If AFG is the 2nd team from G2, I would approve ... Hopefully, they will get better 

[QuarantineTormentino]

Lol Asif Ali better finisher than fraud Pandya

He did smoke few sixes against us in Asia cup as well.  Power & timing is there.

Shaheen/Rauf are going to be too quick for them, Rashid will make sure it is not easy to score. Pakistan will win it but it is going to be a close game.

Conditions. Low bounce, low pace wickets. He can't do that in Australia. His strike rate in UAE 143. In zimbabwe 161. Rest of the places very low.

As for Asif Ali, what to say, he is batting like Klusener atm 

 

In form, conditions suit him, and confident

professional. They didnt panic v Mujeeb and Rashid. Afg's only hope was these 2 taking 5 wickets between them.

 

Also hitting  of Asif Ali seems improved. Earlier was too legside.

Whatever it is man Asif is doing it at big stage in 2 back to back match, where as ATG Pandya is only showing off, remain on the match for just 7 balls and rest of the time showing off from ouside, forget about bowling now a days he can't even last for 20 over fielding.

If not for Asif, AFG could have closed this game
