Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first. Was this a good decision overall? This is going to be the toughest match for Pakistan in this World Cup. Babar Azam is expected to deliver a performance akin to Virat Kohli’s tomorrow.
Afghanistan struggles even more than us when it comes to chasing. The Pakistan vs Afghanistan match will be held on the same pitch that was utilized for India’s opening game against Australia. The ground has been strategically chosen to favor Afghan spinners, and unfortunately, we lack effective spin-playing batsmen in the middle order and beyond. I still have faith that we might tough it out, but to be honest, this is going to be a fiercely competitive match.
It seems like this entire World Cup has been pre-planned. It feels more like an Indian Multi-Nation Series. The pitches, venues, and oppositions all seem to be predetermined. When India faces strong spinning teams, they play on flat pitches, and when facing good batting sides, they’re on venues where the ball spins.
