Pakistan vs Afghanistan - 29th Jun, 2019. Who will win?

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

What a banana peel of a game for Pakistan.

Afghanistan, in their short time in international cricket, have captured cricketing public's imagination, like no other since well...Pakistan.

Brimming with talent, full of confidence and have a super star spinner like no other in world cricket.

Afghanistan are not going to be there to make up the numbers. This is a coming of age tournament for them.

So who wins Pakistan vs Afghanistan game?

On current form, if both teams play to potential, Pakistan should win it. But I suspect it will depend heavily on which Pakistan shows up on Jun 29th.

Is it a joke?

Pakistan will thrash Afghanistan.

 

[saeed5646]

why it have to be pak vs afghanistan ?why not against top side?You seems already defeated .

On the current form we are below par but we did manage to beat them in uae where there spin strength lies so i don,t think there spinner will bail out them in england specially if we have malik,hafeez and sarfraz in middle order

 

[Darkrai]

Pakistan isn't India, we will beat Afghanistan.

I am more confident about Pakistan performance against top sides.

As I said, this is a 'banana peel' of a game, objectively speaking. Pakistan has to be on their A-game and take it seriously.

[Stalin]

Yes Pakistan isn't India. That's why they even lose to Bangladesh.

 

[Majid Khan]

It all depends, but if Usman Shinwari is bowling for Pakistan that day and Hazratullah Zazai gets going then anything is possible.

 

[Slim]

Joke thread.

Afghanistan will get thrashed.

 

[Abdul Moiz]

Asia Cup fixture went down to a nail biting finish, we could also expect same if AFG scores 250 while batting 1st.

 

[MRSN]

like India has never had the taste of BD's defeats. I think Bangladesh have equally well against both teams in last 4 years.

well we have our own Hazratullah Zazai for games like this. Even Malik becomes AB De Villiers against teams like Afghanistan.

 

[MRSN]

On a serious note, Afghanistan do have some quality players in their side so if they fire they can definitely surprise top teams.

Well that counts for all the teams. Besides this aint a random T20 game. Its a 50 over game at the WC.

PAK will beat AFGHAN team.

Even india tied with afg.

So what's your point?

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan will beat Afghanistan.

No need to think Afg will beat Pak.

 

[Hasan123]

Pakistan should win.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Even india tied with afg.

So what's your point?

That it is a potential banana skin game?

Saying for the 3rd time [MENTION=148552]a_tahir[/MENTION]. Get with the program buddy.

 

[MMHS]

I like the term “banana skin”, and that’s exactly what the game against AFGs (& BD as well) is - most cases PAK should start as firm favourites to win the game (both) in UK. But, AFGs definitely can catch PAK on off day with such fragile batting (AFGs own batting is even more fragile but they won’t be under pressure of an upset loss). By the AFG game, PAK is into the 5th week of WC, therefore batting should acclimatise better by then, hence I am not expecting a batting collapse, but PAK has to be focused and mentally not win the game by 28th (& start focusing for next game).

 

[Greenstorm]

Afghani spinners will be the only threat.

Ridiculous, poster must be from Afghanistan. Next time you will ask who will be winner if Pakistan ever played against Uganda.

Not at all. Since Jan 2015, I think India is 4-2 against BD in ODI's. PAK 0-4 .

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This mini war with India has galvanised the nation. I expect the Pakistan team to come out swinging.

Yes, our team is no 1 in ODI's with highest ever ICC points.

 

[Syed1]

If Shinwari is playing for us then even Namibia has a chance.
