Pakistan likely playing XI for World Cup clash against Afghanistan



 Pakistan is all set to take on Afghanistan in their fifth group stage match of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023

Pakistan cricket team is gearing up for a crucial match against Afghanistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, which is set to take place in Chennai on Monday.

Pakistan has faced two challenging losses in their recent matches, one against India and another against Australia. Therefore, securing a victory against Afghanistan is imperative to rejuvenate their prospects in the tournament.

Unfortunately, Fakhar Zaman is sidelined due to a knee injury, which means Pakistan is likely to stick with their opening combination of Abdullah Shafique and Imam ul Haq. Both Imam and Abdullah will aim to continue their excellent batting form as openers.

All eyes will be on the skipper Babar Azam, who is gearing up to show his skills and make a significant contribution in this crucial match.

Mohammad Rizwan, the team's wicketkeeper-batsman, is expected to hold the fort at number four, showing his composed approach to the game

Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed will be eager to make a noteworthy impact in their respective areas of expertise and contribute to the team's victory.
