3 Players To Watch In PAK vs AFG CWC Match 22: ICC CWC 2023
Rashid Khan
As per the 3 Players To Watch In PAK vs AFG CWC Match 22, Rashid Khan is Afghanistan’s main man, their most famous cricketer, and a serial T20 match winner. But in ODIs against higher-ranked teams, Rashid has often failed to impress.
For example, against Pakistan, he has only 7 wickets in 5 matches at an ordinary average of 33. However, the leg-spinner would be licking his lips at the prospect of bowling to the Pakistani batters on the bunsen burner in Chennai. He could make a significant impact on this game with the ball if Afghanistan get to bowl first because dew later in the evening makes it difficult for the spinners.
Imam-ul-Haq

Shaheen Afridi
According to the 3 Players To Watch In PAK vs AFG CWC Match 22, even though Pakistan started the tournament with two wins in two games, their spearhead fast bowler Shaheen Afridi hasn’t looked as threatening as usual, taking only two wickets and conceding at 6.43 runs per over; he’s also been down on pace.
Ahead of this game, Afridi will take heart from the fact that he is Pakistan’s all-time leading wicket-taker against Afghanistan in ODIs, snapping up 12 wickets in 5 matches at a brilliant average of 15.25.
