Concerns for Pakistan

Pakistan got a reality check in the 1st T20I match against Afghanistan where Afghanistan bamboozled them. PCB’s decision to name a second-string squad can backfire as their batters looked clueless against Afghanistan bowlers. Not a single batter scored 20-odd runs which is unacceptable in modern cricket.

Skipper Shadab Khan perhaps needs to promote himself up the order as he is someone who could hold one end & play an impactful knock. Afghanistan would sense that they can upset Pakistan by winning the T20I series where the 2nd T20I match is scheduled on 26th March (Sunday) where it was a complete performance from the hosts.
