Pakistan somehow manage to win this one by 6 wickets. They were made to work hard towards the end as Afghan bowlers stifled the run flow and even the experieced Pakistani batsmen couldn't put away the bad balls. Hafeez held one end together with a gritty 42 to make sure Pakistan don't lose the way after the openers had laid a solid foundation. Afghan bowlers bowled well in patches, but were not able to handle the pressure in tense situations. Pakistan should sort their batting ahead of the series against Sri Lanka, which will start in 3 days time. Afghanistan were playing against a strong side and they should be happy about their performance. Stay tuned for the presentation...
