Pakistan vs Afghanistan Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023: Pakistan vs. Afghanistan live score updates, World Cup 2023: Babar Azam-led Pakistan take on a resurgent Afghanistan side at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, starting at 2pm. Despite losing to New Zealand, Afghanistan will be brimming with confidence after beating defending champions England by 69 runs.
Pakistan, meanwhile, are in deep trouble after losing back-to-back matches against India and Australia. The Babar Azam-led side still don’t look very settled as they continue to face problems in both their batting and bowling departments.
Pakistan’s batting has failed to live up to the high standards set by the likes of Babar Azam, Mohammed Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed. The world number one batsman himself has been somewhat underwhelming in this edition of the World Cup. Adding to their woes, Pakistan’s middle-order batsmen have struggled against spin bowling, as evidenced by their performances against India and Australia.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, have a solid bowling line-up in the spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who can take full advantage of the conditions at Chepauk. However, the Afghans will be looking for a solid performance from their batsmen if they are to find a way into the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2023.
Pakistan and Afghanistan squads:
Afghanistan: Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hassan, Rahmat Shah, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Alikhil (w/k), Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Abdul Rahman and Naveen ul Haq.
Pakistan: Babar Azam (c), Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan (w/k), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim.
