Pakistan vs Afghanistan Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: Pakistan skipper Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bat against Afghanistan in Match 22 of World Cup 2023 in Chennai on Monday. Both sides have made one change each in their playing XI as Shadab Khan replaces Mohammad Nawaz, ...Read More who has fever. Afghanistan, on the other hand, have banked upon spin and added an extra spinner as Noor Ahmad comes in for Fazalhaq Farooqi in the XI.
After enduring tough defeats in their previous two encounters, Babar Azam-led Pakistan will look to return to winning ways. Afghanistan too head into the contest on the back of a 149-run mauling against New Zealand and will be looking for their second win in the tournament.
If we look at both the sides, Pakistan appear as favourites on paper, however, the Chepauk track, which has a reputation of assisting the spinners, will definitely raise Afghanistan's hope. The team has a promising spin line-up with Rashid Khan leading the department. He is assisted by Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi in this department. However, the problem for Afghanistan has been their batting, which has been inconsistent.
If we move our focus to Pakistan, they too have problems of their own. Despite assembling a good squad, the unit has failed to click and managed win against smaller opponents such as the Netherlands, and Sri Lanka. The team then endured a dramatic collapse against India and failed to put a fight against Australia. Pakistan will hope for a strong show against Afghanistan. Although a defeat won't hurt much, but they'll look to grab the valuable two points and give others a strong competition in the race for semifinals.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan Live Score: Pitch report Pommie Mbangwa and Aaron Finch
Pakistan vs Afghanistan Live Score: “A bit of a breeze today coming through the stands. 75m straight boundaries while the square sides are at 65 and 66m respectively. Not a lot of pace in this pitch and you can't hit through the line. Not a blade of grass and expect this pitch to spin. This could be the slowest pitch in this ground today.”

Pakistan vs Afghanistan Live Score: AFG coach urge batters to raise their game
Pakistan vs Afghanistan Live Score: “The thing is - with spinners, there are only two or three of them playing a game. And it's the other eight as well that have to play the game so that's important. So, it's everybody's job, it's not just the spinners job to win games. There's batsmen who've got to put runs on the board or batsmen who've got to chase down a total.” - Jonathan Trott, Afghanistan head coach
