Pakistan vs Afghanistan Match Prediction: who will win?
The confidence of both teams will be low as they both are coming off losses. The biggest disappointment for Pakistan thus far in the tournament has been the form of Captain Babar Azam. He came into the tournament as the number one ranked batsman but has failed in all their matches. Afghanistan will be hoping that he does not find form against them. We are tipping Pakistan to maintain their 100% win record over Afghanistan as they have too much firepower in their team.
MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONSPakistan vs Afghanistan Toss Prediction
The pitch conditions at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium started off as difficult to bat on at the beginning of the tournament but it is now a batting paradise. The team winning the toss should bowl first as defending a total on this small ground could prove to be difficult.
Pakistan vs Afghanistan Betting Preview
The only match Afghanistan have won so far was the one time that opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz got a big score. They rely on him to get a fast start and if he fires then they will be in with a chance. The rest of the batting lineup will need to support him as this is an area they have been found wanting in. Pakistan will be looking to Azam to finally come good while they will want Mohammad Rizwan to continue with his impressive form that has seen him top the run scorer charts after four matches with 294 runs. Both teams have excellent spin bowling options but Pakistan hold the edge in the fast bowling department with Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. The better balance of their attack makes us tip Pakistan for the win.
