The Afghan warriors did their best but this is a Pakistan team of rare quality. They know how to eke out a result in their favour when things are spiraling out of control and that’s the trait of a champion team.
How many times before Friday had you heard of Asif Ali? Captain Babar Azam said the other day that he is their designated finisher after he took Pakistan past the finishing line against New Zealand.
The Pakistan right-hander came to the party yet again when it seemed Group 2 would be thrown open by Afghanistan. He came in at the fall of Shoaib Malik on a pitch where the ball was stopping a bit, but it seemed he was there from ball 1.
Asif knew Afghanistan paceman Karim Janat was the weak link in the Afghanistan attack and he launched a vicious attack as Pakistan needed 24 off 12. Four sixes flew from his bat in the 19th over as Janat looked a fish out of the water and Pakistan notched up their third win and they are well on course to finish on top of the group.
