Displaying formidable batting, Afghanistan won by eight wickets to register their second win and continue their giant-killing form having earlier beaten defending champions England. It was also Afghanistan's first ever win against Pakistan in an ODI.

<h2>Afghan fans celebrate in Kabul</h2>

Fireworks lit up the Kabul sky while sweets were distributed in the streets as Rashid Khan and Co enjoyed their first ODI win against their former World Cup champion neighbours. Kids were seen dancing as fans showered their love and affection for the national side with messages. People gathered in the city center to celebrate.

Considering the occasion, Afghanistan were in total control of the match and showed great maturity in the 283-run chase. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (65) and Ibrahim Zadran (87) laid the foundation for the win as they put together 130 runs for the opening wicket. This laid&nbsp;the perfect platform for victory as later Rahmat Shah (unbeaten 77) and skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi (unbeaten 48) took the team past the winning target convincingly.

The win also saw them rise to sixth place in the standings in the ODI World Cup, now giving them a good chance of making the semifinals. Pakistan lost considerable ground in the Net Run Rate (NRR) and have dropped to fifth in the standings. This was also their third consecutive defeat in the league stage, having earlier lost to India and Australia.

Afghanistan will now look to continue their giant-killing form as they take on Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. If they do manage to win those fixtures coupled with poor results for other sides, they will have a good chance of making it to the semifinals.

Pakistan in the meantime will have a mountain to climb with fixtures against South Africa, New Zealand, and England on the cards. A defeat for them in two of those remaining four matches could see them exit the competition early.

AGF vs PAK 2nd ODI Live Streaming: How to watch Afghanistan vs Pakistan live in your country, Pakistan, India

Pakistan displayed a solid performance in the first ODI contest against Afghanistan in Hambantota as they won by 142 runs. A fifer from Haris Rauf saw Pakistan take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series on Tuesday as they build up for the Asia Cup 2023. While it was a convincing display with the ball for Babar Azam’s side, Pakistan had their fair share of problems with the bat before registering the win.

<h2>Pakistan register dominating win</h2>

Asked to chase 202, Afghanistan were never in the contest as they lost wickets at regular intervals. They lost four wickets in the first powerplay and were 4/3 at one stage with the likes of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah running riot with the ball. Interestingly, only two batters crossed double-digit for Afghanistan before they were bowled out for 59 runs in 19.2 overs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (18) and Azmatullah Omarzai (16) were the picks of the batters in Afghanistan while extras contributed eight runs for them in a below-par show. Rauf was the chief culprit for Men in Navy Blue as he scalped five wickets for 18 runs while Shaheen Afridi ended with a brace. Nassem Shah and Shadab Khan also scalped with one wicket each.

Earlier, Pakistan had the worst possible start to the contest as they lost two wickets for seven and were 40/3 before the end of the first powerplay. The 1992 ODI World Cup winners were on the back foot from the start as they lost wickets at consistent intervals. Imam-ul-Haq top scored with 61 runs while Shadab Khan scored 39 runs with the bat. Shadab and Naseem put together a partnership of 35 runs for the ninth wicket.

The two nations will now meet on Thursday, August 24 at the same ground before they start their journey in the Asia Cup. They will also meet in the third ODI on Saturday in Colombo. Pakistan will then return to their homeland to face Nepal in the curtain-raiser for the Asia Cup before traveling back to Sri Lanka to face India in the high-voltage contest.

They are likely to revisit Pakistan for another game in the Super Four before a meeting with India (depending on group-stage results). Pakistan are also in the running to prepare their squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India where they start against the Netherlands on Friday, October 6.

Fans had started coming in for the Friday evening game in large numbers from as early as the afternoon, but the trouble started when some fans tried to enter the stadium minus tickets.

One of the Pakistan fans who came down all the way from London for the game wasn`t able to enter the stadium in time as the gates had been closed.

T20 WC: Pak fans with tickets stuck outside as ticketless Afghan groups break queue to enter stadium - Watch

Babar Azam-led Pakistan are&nbsp;on a roll in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021. They have emerged as one of the strongest sides in the tournament so far with clinical wins in their first two matches in the Super 12. Pakistan kicked off their campaign with a stunning ten-wicket win against arch-rivals India in their opening game before beating New Zealand next.

Pakistan dished out a brilliant performance with the bat and the ball in their opener against India. They bundled out Virat Kohli &amp; Co. for 151 runs before chasing down the target with ten wickets and 13 balls to spare in what was a fairly one-sided contest.&nbsp;

Against New Zealand, Pakistan bowlers continued their heroics as Haris Rauf picked up a four-wicket haul to restrict the Kiwis to 134/8 in 20 overs. Pakistan did stutter in the run-chase but eventually managed to get over the line comfortably to win by five wickets and move to the top of the table with 4 points from two games.

They will be up against an in-form Afghanistan side in their third Super 12 game on Friday (October 29). The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai with Pakistan aiming to continue their winning run against the minnows, who registered a big win against Scotland by 130 runs.

Riding on Najibullah's cracking 589 off 34 balls and crucial knocks from Hazratullah Zazai (44), and Gurbaz (46), Afghanistan tormented the Scotland bowling attack to post 190 runs on the board before bowling the opposition out for a paltry 60 to clinch a massive win.&nbsp;

Spinners Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman spun a web around Scotland with the ball in Sharjah and picked up eight wickets between them to power their side to their first win in the tournament. Afghanistan bowlers will be hoping to repeat their heroics against Pakistan on Friday.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan, T20 World Cup 2021 match prediction:

Pakistan and Afghanistan have locked horns in a T20I game only once before and this will be the second meeting between the two teams in the shortest format. Pakistan had won the last game between the two teams. Afghanistan, however, might spring a surprise tonight with a strong bowling attack at their disposal.

Pakistan kicked off their campaign with a stunning ten-wicket win against arch-rivals India in their opening game before beating New Zealand next. Pakistan dished out a brilliant performance with the bat and the ball in their opener against India. They bundled out Virat Kohli & Co. for 151 runs before chasing down the target with ten wickets and 13 balls to spare in what was a fairly one-sided contest. Against New Zealand, Pakistan bowlers continued their heroics as Haris Rauf picked up a four-wicket haul to restrict the Kiwis to 134/8 in 20 overs. Pakistan did stutter in the run-chase but eventually managed to get over the line comfortably to win by five wickets and move to the top of the table with 4 points from two games. They will be up against an in-form Afghanistan side in their third Super 12 game on Friday (October 29). The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai with Pakistan aiming to continue their winning run against the minnows, who registered a big win against Scotland by 130 runs. Riding on Najibullah's cracking 589 off 34 balls and crucial knocks from Hazratullah Zazai (44), and Gurbaz (46), Afghanistan tormented the Scotland bowling attack to post 190 runs on the board before bowling the opposition out for a paltry 60 to clinch a massive win.
