Pakistan vs Afghanistan Dream11 Prediction: In Match 36 of the ICC World Cup 2019, Pakistan will be facing Afghanistan in a do or die game. Pakistan seemed to have got their confidence back after trouncing strong team like South Africa and New Zealand. Afghanistan on the other hand, lost to Bangladesh in their last match and are yet to open their account.
Pakistan are currently at 6th position in the points table with 7 points in 7 matches. The way the Pakistan team has managed to comeback in the tournament is commendable and have now given themselves a great chance to finish in top 4 if they manage to win both their matches and a few other results go their way. Afghanistan is already out of the tournament however one cannot discard this unpredictable Afghan side after how they played against India and their warning- “hum to doobenge sanam tumhe bhi le doobenge” shouldn’t be taken lightly.
The match will be played at Leeds where the average first innings score is 285. The weather will be partly cloudy but no chance of rain so this may be a good thing for Pakistan.
Considering that Afghanistan doesn’t play much ODI with the top teams regularly, the players have done well within their limited capabilities and experience. Skipper Gulbadeen Naib, who is still looking for his first win in this tournament, may not want to change in his playing XI, especially his bowlers. Afghanistan have anyway rotated between Hamid Hasan, Aftab Alam and Dawlat Zadran. Given the effect their spinners have had; the trio should keep their place intact. Mohammed Nabi will be the key player for Afghanistan along with Rashid Khan who can both exploit their bowling skills as well as their big hitting ability.
Pakistan has become a serious threat to the teams after the resurgence of Haris Sohail, who displayed his class in the last two games against quality bowling opposition. He along with record breaking batsman Babar Azam could hold the key for Pakistan and guide them towards a win. After a poor few months, Mohammed Amir is back at his best in this world cup, he is in the top 5 wicket takers list with 16 wickets.
