PAK vs. AFG Dream 11 Prediction: First XI, Pitch Report & More

A fiery rivalry between PAK vs. AFG ignites on World Cup 2023 on Monday. The two arch-rivals, Pakistan and Afghanistan, will lock horns in a high-octane clash on match day 22 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Both teams have been in unsteady form in the tournament so far. Pakistan has won two and lost two matches, while Afghanistan has won one and lost three matches. However, the rivalry between the two teams is always intense, and this match promises to be a firecracker.

Pakistan will look to bounce back from their defeat to Australia in their previous match. They will rely on their star players, such as Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, to step up and deliver.

Afghanistan will look to build on their momentum after their upset win over England. They will hope that their world-class spinners, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, can wreak havoc on the Pakistani batting lineup.

The PAK vs. AFG match is always a passionate affair, and this World Cup encounter will be no exception. Both teams will be eager to emerge victorious and boost their chances of qualifying for the semifinals.

Pitch Report & Weather Report

The pitch will be the same as it was for the Australia-India match, so both teams should expect lots of turn.

Batters who become comfortable may score large after they settle down, but they must be wary of spinners. Power hitters may struggle because of the sluggish pitch.

The pitch assists quick bowlers early in the game. As time passes, spinners receive greater assistance, and batting becomes more difficult.

So far, the MA Chidambaram (known as Chepauk) stadium in Chennai has held 26 One-Day Internationals (ODIs). The team batting first won the match 15 times, while teams pursuing the score won 10 times. One match yielded no results.

According to Weather.com, there is minimal likelihood of rain in Chennai, and the temperature might reach 37 degrees. The humidity level will reach 64%.
