...Presentation time...

Earlier, Pakistan opted to bat first but it turned out to be a horrible decision as they were rattled under 100. Afghanistan were pin-point with their bowling and regular wickets helped them to keep Pakistan under such a score.

Pakistan would have made a match out of it if they had more runs on the board. The Pakistani bowlers tried their best with the new ball, striking thrice and putting Afghanistan under pressure but not for long as Afghanistan chased down with ease. 15-20 more runs could have made things hard for Afghanistan.

History has been made! For the first time ever, Afghanistan have beaten Pakistan in international cricket. What a moment for them! They just needed a calm mind and a stand to win this game. After losing their way in the start, both Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran brought in calmness and let the pressure go to chase this score down pretty easily.
