Preview

As Afghanistan takes on Pakistan in the World T20 Series, a lot of eyes will be on the screen. Indians will pay some extra attention as if any upset occurs, they immediately will be under a lot of pressure. However, by the way Pakistan Cricket Team is playing, there’s not much of a chance for the Afghanis.

Pakistan is in a dream run. After beating India and New Zealand in their first couple of fixtures, they would look to beat Afghanistan and once again send a statement to everyone. Their batting, bowling, fielding has improved a lot in the last two years and are very much the hot contender to lift the trophy this time. Mohammed Rizwan’s inclusion in the opening order has worked wonder for the team and the lad is always giving them a good start. Against New Zealand, when things got tricky, their middle order played fantastic cricket to win two points. Legends like Mohammed Hafeez and Shoaib Malik are still contributing and are the pillars of Pakistan team. This team is angry because of what happened in the recent past as New Zealand and England cancelled their tours and are now out to prove that they still are a dangerous team. When a team is in such a mental state, it becomes really hard to beat them.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, is a very emotional side. More than a win, they just want to put a smile on everyone’s faces back home. The rivalry has some political touch to it, but the players would not bother much. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman played some brilliant cricket in the last match and if the pitch supports spinners, Afghanistan will be a difficult side to beat. All they need to do is take care of their batting. The Pakistan team is a great bowling side. Thus, Afghanistan needs to save them from a collapse.
