Afghanistan on Friday registered a historic win over Pakistan in the first match of their AFG vs PAK T20I series. It was historic because it was Afghanistan’s first victory over Men in Green in any format of the game.
The win was particularly significant given the manner in which it was achieved. Pakistan opted to bat first but were soon struggling against Afghanistan’s experienced bowling attack on a pitch that was tricky.
Afghanistan’s pacers, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Naveen-ul-Haq, were particularly impressive in the powerplay, but the real damage was done when the spinners came on. The trio of Mujeeb ur Rahman, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Nabi were able to exploit the conditions and take five wickets between them as Pakistan were resticted to 92/9
Despite some early nerves, Afghanistan were able to reach their target with relative ease, securing a famous victory in the process. The hosts will now look to seal the series when they will enter the field on March 26.
