OP has a point.
Afghanistan, even if some people here dislike them for political reasons, have undeniably the best spin bowling attack in LO cricket at the moment.
Rashid is the best in the world right now, Mujeeb is quality, Nabi is solid, Rehmat is decent, and on top of that they have Zahir Khan and Qais Ahmed in t20 leagues making waves who havent even played for the national side yet. A ridiculous level of talent.
If they make 220 plus I wouldnt be surprised to see a repeat of yesterdays result.
Pak does not have any mental block against Afg and will easily chase whatever they put up.
Lack of ability isn't the same as "mental block".
Afgan spinners are world class, so Pakistani batsmen will have to play very well to win.
How about no? Keep the wrist slitting to yourself.
Anything over 230 will be a tough task to chase, but I don't think Afg will reach 200. Pakistan's bowling lineup is way better than Bangla & Srilanaks, they won't let Afgahnis score freely at all.
In games like these you miss Shahid Afridi.
The guy was the king of pouncing on weaker teams and their spinners.

You think we'll crumble
You think we'll lay down and die
Oh no not us,
We will survive
Dude I remember you as being amongst the pessimists in the match thread.
The cracks have appeared with fakhar gone, we’ll be crumbled when rashid comes on
Today there is good depth in batting.If Afghans post over 200 expect a malik special
Needed a veteran to save us, that’s embarrassing
Needed a veteran to save us, that’s embarrassing
So, what happened?
There was also a 154 run partnership in 33 overs, which is a great start in most circumstances. There's nothing embarrassing about running into troubles on slow pitches against a host of spinners (and one of them being quite good).
Lost 6 wickets for 88 runs after the second wicket partnership. So batting did crumble. But luckily it didn't result in a loss.
Please quote where I said that.Pakistan won. OP said otherwise.

No. Read the OP. It says "Pakistan will crumble". And they did. It said "I'm expecting a tough game from Afghans". And it was.
