Afghanistan vs Pakistan memes T20 World Cup 2021: Top 10 funny T20 World Cup memes from today's match
Afghanistan suffered their first defeat in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 against Pakistan last night at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Pakistan chased down a 148-run target in 19 overs to record their third consecutive victory at the mega event.
Asif Ali was the hero for Pakistan once again. The big-hitter smashed four sixes off the game's penultimate over bowled by Karim Janat. His 25-run knock helped Pakistan win the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 match in 19 overs although the required run rate was more than ten after the 18th over.
Earlier in the evening, Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi won the toss and decided to bat first in Dubai. Afghanistan did not get off to a good start as their opener Hazratullah Zazai got out for a duck. Mohammad Shahzad soon followed him to the dressing room.
Pakistan kept taking wickets at regular intervals and reduced Afghanistan to 76/6 in 12.5 overs. Captain Nabi then united forces with former skipper Gulbadin Naib to rescue Afghanistan's innings. The two all-rounders had an unbeaten 71-run stand for the seventh wicket to guide Afghanistan to 147/6.
Imad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers for the Men in Green, returning with figures of 2/25. Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan scalped a wicket each for Pakistan.
Chasing 148 to win, Pakistan lost Mohammad Rizwan early. However, captain Babar Azam's half-century kept them in the chase. Rashid Khan's 2/26 and Mujeeb ur Rahman's 1/14 made it challenging for the Men in Green, but eventually, a special performance from Asif Ali denied Afghanistan a historic win.
