Cricket World Cup 2023 | Spin test from Afghanistan trio awaits unstable Pakistan middle-order

The Hindu  

While the on-field rivalry between Pakistan and Afghanistan is still in its infancy, crowd disturbances, edge-of-the-seat finishes, and scuffles between players have already lent it the kind of rhetoric that perhaps better describes events in a bullring than in a cricket stadium. Afghanistan’s spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi can pose a challenge to Pakistan’s unstable middle order if it find its rhythm. Against New Zealand, Afghanistan’s innings took a downturn when the middle order came in — the last seven wickets fell for just 42 runs. Afghanistan’s coach, Jonathan Trott, had also expressed concerns about fielding as his team missed six chances in its loss to New Zealand.
