Welcome back for the chase!
15:29 Local Time, 07:29 GMT, 12:59 IST: A disappointing batting performance for Pakistan. Yes, the surface is not quite a belter but the batters could have shown better application and at least bat out their full quota of overs. The pitch has assistance to all kinds of bowlers and Afghanistan made the most of it. None of the Pakistan batters could get a hang of the surface and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
