Performance in the Match

The match itself was quite a spectacle to witness. The hat-trick showcased by the Pakistan Team was just a highlight of the bigger chaos and struggles that took place during the match.

Rashid Khan tried to put a barricade against the Pakistan team by taking 3 of their wickets, keeping the score at 141/8, but the total score of the Afghanistan team was not enough to beat that.

Salman Agha, the leading captain of the Pakistan team, took 27 balls for 24, and Mohammad Nawaz had 21 balls for 25, which proved to be exceptional performances for the audience.

The Afghanistan Team tried to put down the Pakistan Team, to at least get a score near theirs, but in the end, the gap between the numbers was too big to cover.
