Afghanistan Reviews
Afghanistan is rich in the bowling department. They have some world-class bowlers like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb, and Fazalhaq Farooqi but no bowler could give the best performance. Rashid Khan proved the most economical bowler from their side picking one wicket in four overs against just 24 runs. Fazalhaq Farooqi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, and Fareed Ahmad Malik also picked one wicket each. Afghanistan is overall a strong and experienced team and has a good batting and bowling unit. They have to focus on taking early wickets and they can put some pressure on the opposition.
