Pakistani batsmen have never played Rashid Khan and Mujeeb before. It could be a struggle especially if we are chasing more than 250.

Aftab the fast bowler has been swinging miles as well at night. This is going to be an interesting chase.
 
Having their cricket base moved from Pakistan to India is the best thing that could have happened to Afghanistan cricket. If they were still established in Pakistan, they would not have been able to improve at this rate.

Now they have access to much better coaching and facilities, and their best young talents get an early opportunity to play in the IPL. In my view, they will overtake Pakistan as Asia's #2 Limited Overs team within 10 years.

Furthermore, people who are moaning that the team lacks balance without Fahim should understand that a player who neither bowl nor bat does not provide any balance. Fahim is a joke who at best should be a fringe squad player to provide cover.

In UAE/Asia, one of the Imad or Nawaz should play for now. They have their limitations and are nothing special, but you need finger spinners on these wickets and they provide good control (Nawaz's economy rate today is an anomaly. He is usually much tighter than this).

In the long run, we need to find a spinner of the same caliber as Yadav and Rashid Khan - the likes of Shadab, Imad and Nawaz do not have that potential, but until we do not find such a spinner, Imad and Nawaz should definitely play ahead of Fahim. Zafar Gohar should also be thrown into the mix along with Asghar.
 
So they just dropped the 3rd catch. I dont know what to say anymore
 
Pak can’t play with this team. We are 2 bowlers short as NawAz is not a lead spinner
 
wut on earth...
So haris bowls the 40th over,power play over.
WHy would you give it to a parttimer,that too against the batsman who has been tonking the spinner.
 
How pathetic is Haris sohail as a fielder?

He should be dropped forever for that dropped.
 
3 catches dropped off of Shaheen's bowling today. Atrocious by the fielders today
 
Anyone who thinks 250 is not on the cards, doesnt know basics about cricket
 
To be fair, the bowling has been good so far. The catches and fielding have been atrocious and Pakistan deserve to lose with this fielding performance.

There are only three pacers, they can only bowl a maximum of 30 overs. Learn cricket before commenting on it.
 
What is the difference between Bangladesh and our bowling!!!!
Haris should be kicked out as this guy is a over-hyped players and lack of fitness
 
My heart is crying for Shaheen. Pure dislike and hatred for Haris, shinwari and fakhar today for dropping catches on his bowling.
 
Pakistan is playing Afghanistan or are you too fogged up in the upper compartment to see that?

Let me spell this out for you. 3-4 wickets against Afg doesn't make Nawaz a spinner. But getting a phainty from them definitely makes him a part timer.
 
Shaheen to Pakistani fielders : tum sab nikkamme rehne do, mai khud hi bowled kar lunga.
 
Considering 20 overs of mujeeb and Rashid, i wud say Afghanistan are favorites now to win this game. Unless of course they don't get to 250 in which case it will be evenly poised.
 
Shaheen and Amir:

Don't make a difference.

Your catches will not stick.
 
SHAHEEEEENNNN YOU BEAUTYYY FINALLY A WICKETTT, thankgod. Well deserved. You deserved a 5 wicket haul, man. I am sorry that your team mates are pathetic.
 
One wicket in the slog overs and look at the aggression. :))

We had to bowl two part-timers for ten overs. Just to accommodate Haris Sohail/Imam-ul-haq.
 
3 dropped catches, let’s take the fielders out of the equation I’ll do it myself- bowled him!

lol. 1. They won't get to 250. 2. Mujeed and Rashid won't trouble us.
 
Nice to slip in Nawaz and spinner's last over here. Hope it doesn't go for alot of runs.
 
The fielders are definitely to blame for this horror show but I am sorry, Sarfraz has been atrocious with his field placements. Knowing that Asghar was slogging to the legside, how can you have your worst fielder at the square-leg boundary?!
 
Ok just 5 from that over.... now all remaining overs can be bowled by pacers.
 
Someone please get our fielding coach back and these players should get chitrol for their performances. Ghatiya.
 
3 dropped off Afridi alone! Horrible, so unlike Pak of the last 2 years, what is happening here?
