Asia Cup 2022 | Pakistan v Afghanistan | Match 4 | Super 4 | Sharjah | 7 Sep | Afghanistan innings

Wow Afghanistan openers showing us how to bat in the powerplay
 
We shouldn't have believed the stupid hype about bowling 1st.
There is always more movement in 2nd innings.
 
My god are these fast bowlers horrible to watch in the powerplay. Always completely wayward.
 
Why does Rizwan need to go all the way to 3rd man to console Naseem?

To show Rohit how it’s done?
 
Out!

Anyway, horrendous decision to chase against the Afghan spinners regardless of the result. If they score decent runs, it will be unnecessary pressure on Pakistan.
 
This Gurbaz is ridiculously dumb, this is the difference between the top teams and this Afghanistan team :))

I think this is their approach regardless of the situation. High risk high reward. Same with Srilanka. They played poor shots against India last night to lose 4 wickets. But it pays sometimes.
 
150, 151, and 153 by Rauf in his first over against Afghanistan.
 
Hasnain is bowling with poor control today. He needs to get his act together quickly.

Hasnain was great in Dubai and a disaster here.. i think it is left and right hand combination which is affecting him.
 
Naseem missed a trick by not coming round the wicket to zazai. He would've been back in pavilion by now.
 
Terrible bowling by Hasnain. Managed to get a wicket by actually bowling at the stumps finally.
 
Hasnain still not comfortable with his line, regardless of this very good slower delivery.

Clearly struggling with the right-left combination, can breathe easy now.
 
Naseem is a below par fielder

Pakistan have improved a lot as a fielding side and Naseem cannot be a liability if he wants to be in it
 
Great comeback from Hasnain...both openers back in the hut!

Slower and smarter

Afghanis happy to take the singles now that the openers are gone. Not trying to smash out. Must be the Trott effect.
 
Why Haider is selected today? Fakhar is bound to fail against spin.
