Afghanistan vs Pakistan 2023 2nd ODI Match Prediction

Afghanistan will take on Pakistan in the 2nd ODI of the 3-match series at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Hambantota, on Thursday (24 August) afternoon,

 

Pakistan registered a big win by 142 runs in the opening ODI. Electing to bat first, Pakistan lost Fakhar and Babar in the first two overs. A couple of good partnerships between Imam, Iftikhar, and Shadab took the team to a below-par 201 runs. But the pace trio of Shaheen, Haris, and Naseem blew away the Afghanistan batting unit, with Haris taking 5 for 18.   

 

On the other hand, Afghanistan will look to forget the 1st ODI as quickly as possible. Bowling first, the spin trio of Rashid, Mujeeb, and Nabi took 7 wickets to restrict the Pakistan batters to a small score. The Afghan batters would have fancied chasing the score down but instead were all out for their second-lowest ODI total of 59 runs.
