The second One Day International (ODI) match between Pakistan and Afghanistan is set to take place at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium. The match is part of a three-match series and will commence at 2:30 p.m. Pakistan Time on August 24, 2023.
This series is not just another cricket encounter but holds significant importance for both teams. For Afghanistan, it serves as a testing ground for their batting unit against a world-class bowling attack, ahead of upcoming mega tournaments. On the other hand, Pakistan, which currently holds the second spot in the ODI rankings, has a chance to claim the top position if they manage to win the remaining two matches.
In the first match of the series, Pakistan took a 1-0 lead, thanks to an impressive performance by their pacers who took eight wickets while defending a total of 201 runs. Despite some struggles against the spinners, the Pakistani batting unit managed to post a total above 200, with notable contributions from Imam-ul-Haq, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Shadab Khan. This series also presents an opportunity for the Babar Azam-led batting unit to refine its approach against spinners, especially with the Asia Cup and World Cup 2023 on the horizon.
