The Afghanistan bowlers gave real tough time in the beginning as they restricted the batters from scoring.

The partnership between Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim paved the way for Pakistan to come out of the pressure. Shadab contributed 32 runs off 25 balls. The fall of Saim Ayub, Muhammad Haris and Abdullah Shafique put Pakistan under pressure.
