Pakistan Vs Afghanistan 1st Inning Updates
Pakistan and Afghanistan are clashing in a very important Asia Cup Super 4 match that might give us some distant view of what the finalé looks like. This has been one exciting ride till now and we should be ready except the unexpected. Here in this article, we have talked about Pakistan Vs Afghanistan 1st Inning Updates in detail.
Winning the toss, Pakistan elected to bowl first, bringing Afghans to set the target for the chase. Following the same, Afghanistan has scored 129 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in the first innings.
During the death overs, Rashid Khan and Omarzai utilized the opportunity but it did not mean that Afghanistan got a fighting total against mammoth looking Pakistan.
In the last five overs, Afghanistan managed to score just 36 runs for the loss of a wicket. There was no one big partnership in the innings but three small ones. 36 runs between Zazai and Gurbaz, the openers, being the highest.
Rauf bowled the 17th over of the game and it was something to look forward to. He took a wicket and only conceded 1 run from the over. A total of 8 runs came off the 18th over of the innings bowled by Hasnain.
The 19th over of the innings was bowled by Naseem Shah who kept things tight, conceding just 6 runs. The 20th over of the innings was bowled by Haris Rauf that dwindled his stats a bit as he got hit for 10 runs from the over. A six and a four came off it.
Things could go all right for Afghans but Pakistan’s bowlers once again proved that they are a hype for a reason. The hard hitters who have played around the world looked inexperienced in front of rather inexperienced but very talented Pakistan bowlers. Afghans will need a lot of luck and prayers to win the match.
The run rate at the end of the 20th over is 6.5. Ibraham Zadran scored the highest number of runs but that didn’t come at a very good strike rate. Pakistan has to score 130 runs for the win.
