Can Pakistan do a Pakistan and lose against Afghanistan?

[Miraz]

Title says it all.

What do you think?

I won't bet against it.

[zman]

I expect AFG to win. Their bowling is strong. Only teams with strong batting line ups can easily win against them.

[ahnaf]

Lot will depend on the pitch. If it's anything like the last two match afg played, it's possible.

Other than that I don't see it happening.

[zman]

^ looking at the score cards the only match played at that venue was a low scoring affair between SL and ENG. That's why I was expecting it to be bowler friendly.

[roman]

Afg will want to go home with a win. So they will give their best against Pakistan. Will be an interesting match for sure

[Roey Haque]

I don't think it will happen. Pakistan is totally run by their army. And all they do is pump money from the people to meaningless projects, like their nuclear missile program and cricket team.

Sarfaraz may look like a goofball, but don't be mistaken, he is actually an ISI trained high level operative, coordinating use of super oxygen hyperoxic regimens and zero gravity training chambers to increase the skill of his troops, I mean players.

They will play with everything they have, or else... every single green android will be taken back to their factories and decommissioned halal style.

[Rifat]

There are two Pakistan: joke Pakistan vs. Serious Pakistan. Pakistan have entered Serious mode. I don't see it happening...I don't foresee Pakistan losing.

[Fazal]

No.



Because AFG is too weak. And Pakistan is playing better with new lineup.




But then, anything can happen in cricket in any particular day.

[Patrick 🦊]

U dont know which Pak will turn on particular day...🙃

[godzilla]

If this was at the beginning of the tournament, I would have honestly gone with AFG over pak. But at the end of the tournament, pak is on red hot form. Bowlers/batsmen are finding form. AFG better hide under uncle 20 years old rashid's skirt. They will get blasted out of this tournament

[weekyd]

No way!

India will top the group. Pakistan will steal the 4th spot from us.

India v Pakistan in the semi final and Pakistan will beat India.

Pakistan will either play Australia or New Zealand. They had a very good chance to beat the Aussies.

Pakistan v Australia in the final. Pakistan will win the final.

You heard it here first.

[adamnsu]

For me Pakistan to lose

[Shaan]

Pakistan will lose !

all afghan have to do is attack with 3 spinners

then gulbadin naib, bring hamid hassan into attack

batsman: nabi, rahmat shah and shinwari should bat with responsibility

drop asgar afghan and dawlat zadran. bring back zazai and give him license to play freely. afghan can win the match

AFG bowling is not the problem here, its their incompetent batting. I would be surprised if they are even able to score 150 if somehow they restrict them to that total

there were lot of rain before SL and ENG match. pitch was under cover thats why it was a low scoring match. Naturally this is a high scoring ground. PAK vs ENG match before WC saw 650+ runs being scored.

We shall see

My own prediction is, this overrated pakster wont even make it to the semis. They had their fun in last couple of games now Bangladesh will beat the living daylight out of them.

[Night_wolf]

Dont care if Afg can beat them or not

Dont care if we can make it to the semi or not

I only want us to stop their run..similarities between 92 & 19 ends here

[Jadukor]

If it is a spin friendly wicket then Afg has a chance. If it is pace friendly then Pak bowlers will eat AFG alive

[Shehwar]

If Afghanistan bat first and post 230 plus then there is a chance.

Lets Brendon McCullum’s forecasting skills be cursed on you.

But tbh I think your skills are a bit better than his

So more important to stop their run than making it to the semis?

semi is not in our hand..if Eng and SL wins no matter what we do we will not make it

But stopping pak is in our hands. Beat them and their run ends
