When the Afghanistan team faces Pakistan in the ODI World Cup match on Monday, it will try to cause another upset on the strength of its spinners. Afghanistan has caused an upset in this tournament by defeating the current champion England. Afghanistan's strength is its spin trio Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi and they would like to register victory on their strength.
Afghanistan team has not been able to defeat Pakistan yet in ODI history and this time the team has a chance. It will not be easy to face the Afghan spinners on a pitch favorable for the spinners of Chepauk.
Pakistani batsmen could not do well against spinners
After losing to India and Australia in the last two matches, Pakistan will have to win this match at any cost to keep their hopes alive because another defeat will hurt their chances of reaching the semi-finals. Pakistan's batsmen have not yet been able to perform well against the spinners, which is a matter of concern for them. Even the Bangalore pitch was helpful for the batsmen, but on that pitch Pakistani batsmen were struggling against Australian leg spinner Adam Zampa.
In such a situation, Pakistan captain Babar Azam will have to play a good innings. Babar has not been able to perform well in the tournament so far. Wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan is in good form and a lot of responsibility will be on him. When Pakistan's batsmen do not perform, their bowlers perform well, but this time so far their bowlers have also been disappointed. Left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to form by taking five wickets against Australia.
Pitch condition and statistics
Both the teams have met only once in the World Cup in which Pakistan won. Last time Pakistan defeated Afghanistan in the 2019 World Cup. Both the teams have faced each other seven times in ODIs and the Pakistani team has won all seven. However, the pitch of Chepauk Stadium in Chennai is considered to be helpful for spinners and Afghanistan's spinners can prove to be dangerous on it.
