Pakistan or Afghanistan - who performed better at this WC?

[Dil Dil India]

Almost identical NRR and 4 wins each.

 

Pak won vs SL, Netherlands, Bangladesh and NZ (DLS) 

 

Afg won vs England, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Netherlands

 

Against the teams they lost to, Afg put better fights vs Aus and India @Iconoclast and other Pak intellectuals claimed H2H is more important than NRR. What does ICF think?

H2H Afg wins cause Afg beat Pak.

Pakistan biggest headache is India now they have a new headache in the form of Afghanistan, this rivalry will be great in the coming years 

[sugumarrising]

Honesty speaking Afghanistan has better batsman than Pakistan they proved that they chased targets not by fluke, the kind of cricket shots, rotating the strike which we can't see from Pakistan

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have caused them issues too in the last 4-5 years.

These pakistanis will never learn, if their is a shameless team in international cricket it is none other than Pakistan, whenever before a tournament they chest thump as they will run over us especially with their world's best bowling , after getting smashed by us their former players & fans will say the match is fixed.

Let's not be this cheeky. We have a game on Wednesday that to against NZ. 

[bsriharsha]

Afghanistan has been the better side 

 

Their upset loss against Bangladesh and had they well held their nerve , they would have beaten Australia. 

 

They also gave a decent account of themselves vs India (atleast in their batting)

 

Pakistan have looked unconvincing in most of their wins except Bangladesh( NZ - fluke because of a freak innings by Fakhar and rain helping , Srilanka - Pathirana lost the plot hard , Netherlands - they were in trouble at one stage 

 

Their losses were down right shambolic for the most part, the inability to beat a choking SA being the icing on the cake.  

[Zero_Unit]

in this WC, Afg has been the second best asian team no question about that. Pakistan is after Afg. Worst is SL.

Randos posting on the internet will not affect the outcome of that game whatsoever.

Obviously Afghanistan..had they not stumbled against Bangla and choked against the Aussies, they would be in the semis. Only top 6 side Pakistan beat was New Zealand and that was on DLS

They need bilateral series against Nepal and Mongolia to pad their stats.

Actually 'these surface' are lot more fair and balanced than what we got in England last WC, where they completely took Spinners out of the equation.
