Pakistan will be aiming for a win over Afghanistan in the 2nd ODI at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium in Hambantota on Thursday to seal an ODI series win as well as the No. 1 position on the ICC ODI rankings. Babar Azam’s Pakistan have a 1-0 in the series after their 142-run win over Afghans in the first ODI on Tuesday.

A win on Thursday will help Pakistan get an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. This is the first-ever bilateral ODI series between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Babar Azam will look to bounce back after scoring a duck in the first ODI, falling leg-before to Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman. However, it was the Pakistan pace bowlers who bundled out Afghanistan for just 59 – the lowest ever total in men’s ODIs against Pakistan, surpassing 64 by New Zealand.

Haris Rauf was the star of the show, claiming 5/18 – his first-ever five-wicket haul in ODI cricket. However, Rauf could be rested in this match to give an opportunity to Mohammad Wasim Jr to get some game time in before the Asia Cup 2023 gets underway on August 30.
