Cricket World Cup 2023: Pakistan Wary Of Afghanistan Spin Threat At Chepauk | Cricket News

[ad_1] A desperate Pakistan will be wary of a competent group of Afghanistan spinners' ability to strike hard on an often-gripping Chepauk pitch during the World Cup match in Chennai on Monday. A win is mandatory for Babar Azam's side after two successive defeats against India and Australia, as another slip up will severely hamper their ambitions to reach the semifinals of the tournament. Currently, they are in the fifth position with four points from as many matches but their net run rate of -0.456 is a worry, and it needs improvement. Pakistan's big headache will be their batsmen's travails, especially against spinners.Even on a batting beauty in Bengaluru, their batters gave four crucial wickets to Aussie leg-spinner Adam Zampa, and they struggled to read his skidders.Afghanistan have...

Cricket World Cup’s ‘No. 1 Catch’ Taken By New Zealand Star Mitchell Santner, ICC Issues ‘Screamer Alert’. Watch | Cricket News

[ad_1] New Zealand once again proved why they are the team to beat in ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 as they delivered yet another clinical show with a huge win over Afghanistan.

ODI World Cup: Thorough New Zealand Crush Afghanistan By 149 Runs | Cricket News

[ad_1] In less than 96 hours after they beat reigning World Champions England, Afghanistan got a solid reality check from a ruthless New Zealand, which recorded a thumping 149-run victory in a thoroughly one-sided World Cup match in Chennai on Wednesday. As a result of this conquest, the Black Caps remain unbeaten in the event so far, taking the top spot again with its fourth straight victory. Chasing a tough target of 289 on a spinner-friendly wicket at Chepauk, Afghanistan could manage only 139 in 34.4 overs. The Afghans found Lockie Ferguson's (3/19 in 7 overs) pace too hot to handle and had no answers for Mitchell Santner's (3/39 in 7.4 overs) deliveries, which at times, turned a mile.This was after triple half-centuries from Will Young (54), Tom Latham (68) and Glenn Phillips (71) e...
