AFG vs PAK Match Prediction - Oct 19, 2022

T20 Cricket World Cup is finally underway and it couldn't have gotten off to a more exciting start. We have the two groups wide and open with almost all teams still pretty much in it to get to the next round. In another round of uncovered matches, we have T20 warm-ups being played, which too have been pretty close thus.

 

In what would be the last chance to get things right before the main event, we have Afghanistan set to take on Pakistan on 19th October 2022. The match between the two sides will be played on Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, Brisbane. Pakistan and Afghanistan have a new brewing rivalry and are likely to come out hard at each other, even if this a warm-up. A cracker of a contest is certainly on the cards here.

AFG vs PAK Team Previews

Afghanistan

Afghanistan have grown leaps and bounds in recent times and that growth is a lot more pronounced in the shortest version of the game. They have scared more established sides multiple times and will now be looking for something more to take back home. They did a pretty good job against Pakistan in the Asia Cup but couldn't hold their nerve in the final over.

 

On paper, Afghanistan have an excellent side and that win over Bangladesh in the first match should only add to their confidence. Batting and bowling both worked to perfection as they rampaged past Bangladesh for an easy win. This assignment and Pakistan is going to be a lot more difficult but if they are able to play to their potential, getting past them could prove to be a tough challenge.

Afghanistan Playing 11

Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Saleem Safi, Darwish Rasooli, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, Naveen ul Haq, Najibullah Zadran, Qais Ahmad, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Usman Ghani.


Pakistan

Pakistan, recently, have played cricket at an elevated level in recent times but similar to some of the other teams, they have failed to seize the crunch moments. The highlight of the recent times is arguably their win over India in the Asia Cup and they would want to build on that and go all the way this time. 

 

Pakistan have a pretty young side and this match could go a long way in defining how they are going to do at the World Cup main event. Their batting looks a bit too over-reliant on Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam at the moment. They are likely to provide some game time to their middle-order in this match. Apart from that - the the ball and on the field, Pakistan have done well and if they are able to play to their on-paper potential, Afghanistan will have their work cut out.

 

Pakistan Playing 11

Asif Ali, Babar Azam, Haider Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Shadab Khan, Shan Masood.

AFG vs PAK Betting Tips

While the match doesn't have any significance with respect to the records or main event, the brewing rivalry between the two sides makes this contest interesting. Although Afghanistan have a side that can trouble even the best, Pakistan too have proved to be handful for their opponents in recent times. Pakistan have a better balanced side, at least on paper, and for that and the other factors stated above, a bet on Pakistan win should be the way to go here.
