This Hashmatullah Shahidi is grade A tuk tuk and brain dead

 

They need to drop him and play Najibullah Zadran who is also left ahnder but way more dynamic

Nabi also has to come up

Spot on, They are not good enough to chase big totals.

 

I doubt they could chase even 200. Its different pressure chasing.

He's their captain though

This is peak Mitchell Santner. Peach of a ball to get rid of Nabi.  

 

Best SLA in the world alone with Keshav Maharaj.

That group stage match against Nzl will be a good stress test for us. At the moment even defending totals against them is not easy with their deep lineup and 3 world class batsmen in Latham, Conway and Mitchell even without Kane. 

 

Also agent Rachin

If Noor Ahmad doesn't plays next game...  Pak will win against Afghans. 

Mujeeb Nabi won't fire in every game as proved.  Rashid won't run through teams all on his own. 

Drop Naveen & play Noor to stand a chance against Pak. 

Trott & Ajay Jadeja must see the light... 

[Lone Wolf]

Lockie is bowling quick now once again...  Found his rhythm in last game.  Dude sucked all year long but he is back when it matters. 

The pace is beyond 90-92mph once again with bounce. 

[rageaddict]

It got over so quickly. Thanks for coming Afghans..

[The Realist]

From 97/3 to 139ao

 

Another domino style collapse

[Frustrated]

Very Very Disappointing from Afghans.  Too many dropped catches, missed stumping etc.   Still they had NZ at 110/4 but could not capitalize.     

[Lord]

What is the point of Mark Chapman batting at 7? They can easily play Neesham to tonk a few and have extra bowling option. Or play Sodhi with Santner at 7.

[nitinbwj]

NZ has played Eng, Ned, Ban, Afg so far

3 minnows out of 4. What pathetic scheduling.

Good point.  Was about to say this.

NZ seems the most balanced side this WC

Top favourites this WC

[nitinbwj]

Good teams wouldn't allow NZ to escape from 110/4.

They have one difference maker in their opener, if he clicks they will post a competitive total.

 

Rashid Khan is not going to win too many matches against big teams with his bowling , that too like Murali he only come on after 15 overs.

 

I have no idea why opted to chase, even 175 is too many for these guys under pressure.

Same was said about SA.

[BH-BAIB]

Afghan to bat first vs Pak then 

[BH-BAIB]

If Aus beat Pak, then Pak v afg will be a contest.

If Pak beat Aus, Afghan will need hockey sticks
