In the ongoing Cricket World Cup, Pakistan will play Afghanistan and will need to beat the Asian team at Headingley to displace England and inch closer to securing its ICC Men's Cricket World Cup semi-finals berth.
After going down in its initial matches of the Cricket World Cup tournament, Pakistan made a solid comeback in the World Cup standings as they defeated New Zealand and moved up to sit in the sixth place with seven points. Pakistan is trapped in two must-win matches to enter the knock out stage. And the first one is against the Afghan boys led by captain Gulbadin Naib.
Afghanistan which lost most of its matches and is placed in the bottom without any point will play for pride. While Pakistan would aim to move up and secure the fourth position in the standings.
