Sarfaraz Ahmed and Gulbadin Naib
After clinching two back-to-back victories, Pakistan will look to keep themselves in contention of making into the semi-finals of the 2019 ICC World Cup with a big win over minnows Afghanistan at Headingley, Leeds on Saturday. The Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side are currently standing at the sixth spot with three wins from seven matches they have played so far. Afghanistan, on the other hand, are already out of contention of sealing the last-four berth.
