Asia Cup 2022: Afghanistan aim to stay alive in tournament with win over in-form Pakistan

It’s a do-or-die situation for Afghanistan as they go head to head against Pakistan in the fourth match of the Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2022 on Wednesday.

Afghanistan, who made an astounding start to their Asia Cup campaign with an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka, failed to emulate the same performance against the same opponent in the Super 4 stage as they lost to the Island nation by four wickets.

However, Mohammad Nabi’s team has been impressive so far in the tournament. Now, the team does not rely only on Rashid Khan-led spin attack for wickets as their pacers Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq have also emerged as match-winners for them. In the batting department, the likes of Najibullah Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have all stepped up to the challenge and made the task hard for the opposition bowlers.
