Afghanistan set 301 runs target for Pakistan in the second ODI

Afghanistan Cricket Team set a big target of 301 runs for Pakistan in the second One Day International (ODI) in Hambantota, as Rahmanullah Gurbaz top scored with 151 runs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran's opening partnership of 80 runs set a record for Afghanistan's highest opening partnership.

Usama Mir finally broke the impasse for Pakistan in the 40th over after Pakistan had to wait 39 overs for their first breakthrough.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz reached his greatest ODI score and achieved his sixth ODI ton. When Shaheen Shah Afridi dismissed him in the 46th over, his innings officially came to an end.

Shaheen Shah Afridi took Rashid Khan's wicket two balls after he had been sent in to score some early runs.

Muhammad Nabi added 29 runs before Naseem Shah sent him back to the pavillion. Haris Rauf, who got five wickets in the first match, went wicketless.
