After winning the toss first, it was an interesting decision by Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi to bat first. Batting first, Afghanistan can’t start well as they lose 4 wickets inside the powerplay and scored 49 runs also. Most of the batsmen got starts but they didn’t capitalize on that. But Mohammad Nabi and Gulabdin Naib ensured that they finish with a par score. There was insane batting by both these batters in the end. And with their effort, Afghanistan managed to score 147.

Coming to the second innings, Pakistan got a brisk start, as they lost their opener Mohammad Rizwan in the powerplay but managed to score 38 runs in the powerplay.

At one time, Pakistan needed 24 runs of 12 balls. Pressure situation.. No? Definitely a pressure situation but Asif Ali finished the things in style by scoring 4 sixes in an over and finished the match with an over to spare.
