Preview
Afghanistan (AFG) will be up against Pakistan (PAK) in the second ODI match of the Afghanistan Tour of Sri Lanka at the Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota on August 24. After a game Afghanistan would like to forget as soon as possible, they would be eyeing to make a comeback and turn things around in the coming match.
These teams locked horns against each other at the same venue in their last game, where the toss was won by Pakistan, who elected to bat. Pakistan did not have a start as they would have hoped for, losing Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam within just two overs of the game. However, it was followed by a couple of good partnerships, which gave Pakistan a mini-comeback. However, after Imam was dismissed, another collapse was in the way, and Pakistan could only score 201 before being bowled out. Spin to win seemed to have worked wonders for Afghanistan.
However, what happened in the second innings was not something anyone would have hoped for. Other than Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Azmatullah Omarzai, no other batter could even come close to touching the two-digit mark. Batters were coming and leaving the crease so quickly that the coming batters were not even getting enough time to strap their pads on. Afghanistan soon was bowled out on a mere total of 59 runs, which is the lowest total against Pakistan in ODIs, and Haris Rauf was the chief destructor in this chase.

Player Picks
Haris Rauf PAK | BOWL
Rauf was simply sensational in the last game where he decimated the Afghani batting line-up by scalping five wickets. He was adjudged Player of the Match as well.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman AFG | BOWL
Mujeeb bowled brilliantly in the first innings and wrapped things up for Pakistan. He had taken three wickets giving away just 33 runs and could be the one to lead your team.
Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL
Rashid scalped two wickets in the last game and gave away 42 runs in his 10 overs. He is a magician with the ball and definitely should be leading your side.
Shadab Khan PAK | ALL
Shadab contributed in the last game very well with the bat as well as the ball. He scored 39 runs in the last game and had taken away one wicket as well.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL
Shaheen paired with Rauf to blow away the Afghanistan team as he took away two wickets up front where he gave away just nine runs in his four overs. He is a must-have pick.
Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL
Although Nabi could not do much with the bat, he bowled really well in the last game. He gave away just 34 runs in his 10 overs and scalped two wickets.
Imam ul Haq PAK | BAT
Imam was the only batter who scored a fifty in the last game. He played a brilliant knock of 61 runs off 94 balls and would be expected to do the same in this match as well.
Naseem Shah PAK | BOWL
Naseem got to bowl just five overs where he gave 12 runs and took a wicket. While batting, he also scored 18 runs and remained unbeaten.
Mohammad Rizwan PAK | WK
Rizwan could not do much in the last game but with the consistency he holds, he would be expected to make a comeback in this game and play some beautiful shots.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Ikram Ali Khil
AFG | WK
Ikram has not been able to impress much in the recent games and can be left out of your team.
Rahmat Shah
AFG | BAT
Rahmat has not been in too great of a form recently. He should not find a place in your team.
