The Afghanistan vs Pakistan match couldn't produce a fruitful result as rain played spoilsport in the second innings. Afghanistan, batting first, scored 154 runs in 20 overs. Ibrahim Zadran and Mohammad Nabi were the top-scoring batters for the Afghans, scoring 35 and 51 respectively.
For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi (2 wickets for 29 runs) and Haris Rauf (2 wickets for 34 runs) were the picks of the bowlers. Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan also bagged one wicket apiece.
Batting second, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were unbeaten on 0 and 6 respectively before the match had to be stopped due to rain. A total of 13 extras were conceded by Afghanistan in only 2.2 overs before the rain came downpouring.
Pakistan were 19/0 when the play stopped and the match couldn't resume.
