Pakistan Vs Afghanistan LIVE Updates

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Afghanistan, you deserve a standing ovation! They managed to achieve something remarkable on the world stage of cricket. They had won a mere single match in just two World Cup editions. However, this time around, they defied all odds by outshining two cricketing giants, England and Pakistan, who were considered top favourites. Their performance was nothing short of clinical. Facing off against Pakistan on a sluggish Chepauk track, Afghanistan lost the toss and decided to field, placing their faith in four frontline spinners. Initially, things didn't go as planned, with Pakistan racing to 56/0 in the first powerplay.

Nonetheless, Afghanistan showed immense resilience and mounted a remarkable comeback in the second powerplay. Their spinners applied the brakes and crucially snatched wickets, turning the tide of the match. Pakistan managed to post a competitive total of 282, thanks to solid contributions from Iftikhar and Shadab, which seemed above par on that challenging surface. But what unfolded next was truly extraordinary—a masterclass in cricket. Afghanistan displayed exceptional skills and determination as they chased down the target. Their victory was a testament to their growth in the world of cricket, and it was a moment to savour in the sport's history. Afghanistan, you've left an indelible mark, and your journey is a source of inspiration for cricket enthusiasts worldwide.

AFG vs PAK LIVE: Hashmatullah Shahidi Afghanistan Captain

"This win tastes nice. The way we chased was very professional. Looking forward for the other games. The way we chased today, we'll do it again. We have been playing quality cricket, the belief was there when we played the Asia Cup as well. First was England, today Pakistan, looking forward to the other games. We'll try to play positive cricket and do a lot for out country. The spin bowling deprogramming was very good. Noor showed his talent. Gurbaz and Ibrahim gave the momentum and confidence. The game was in our hand from the beginning till the end."

AFG vs PAK LIVE: Babar Azam After Defeat

This hurts us. We had a good total. In the bowling, we weren't up to the mark as we are not taking wickets in the middle overs. If you are not good in even one department, then you'll lose the game. We didn't stop boundaries and gave away runs, that cost us. Bowling - we started well, in the middle overs, we needed wickets but we couldn't take any. All credit to Afghanistan the way they played in all three departments. That's why they won. We are not playing good cricket in bowling and fielding. We'll try our best in the next match. We didn't hit the lengths in the middle overs, especially our spinners. We couldn't put pressure on the batters.

AFG vs PAK LIVE: Mohammad Nabi After Historic Win

"Big moment for the whole team, the whole of Afghanistan. We’ve been waiting for 10-12 years for such a moment and to win one game in the big event against Pakistan. Last 3 months we worked very hard, this is a lovely moment today. We beat England and now Pakistan, everyone is in a good mood. We can not only defend, but also chase well now. This win is the favorite, we have played them 7-8 games against them and in the last moment we have always lost. The way Ibrahim and Gurbaz started, that gave us the momentum. We didn’t lose back to back wickets till the end. We thought the surface would be like the NZ game, but it was much easier. I think our bowlers did very well to restrict them to that kind of total. The plan was to play Noor in this game, and he bowled brilliantly, in the right areas. This win is a long time coming, we played for the first time in 2012, then Asia Cup and 2019 World Cup. Lots of close games against Pakistan. We shouldn’t have lost the first game against Bangladesh, but now we’re halfway gone and we have 4 points on the table. Now we will go hard against Sri Lanka. We loved the support we received today, hopefully we’ll get that support in Pune as well."
