Afghanistan are currently in a dominating position against Pakistan in the 22nd match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. They have scored 195 runs for the loss of just 2 wickets in 35.5 overs during their run-chase of 283-run target. The Afghan boys are eyeing the first win in their ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 campaign.
Meanwhile, the star Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan happened to attract the social media headlines and a lot of reactions from the cricket fans on social media. It all happened when Rizwan’s reaction to the poor fielding of his teammates, went viral over social media.

Earlier in the first innings, Pakistan managed to post a decent total of 282 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the allotted 50 overs courtesy of half-centuries from skipper Babar Azam (74 runs) and Abdullah Shafique (58 runs). Apart from these two batters, all-rounders, Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed also played the crucial knocks of 40 runs each to help Pakistan post a respectable total.
Notably, this match is an all-important fixture for both Pakistan and Afghanistan to keep themselves in contention for the knockouts of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. Pakistan are coming off with two wins and two defeats in their first four matches; on the other hand, Afghanistan lost their three matches, alongside one win against the defending champions, England.
