AFGH vs PAK Dream11 36th Match Prediction | Afghanistan vs Pakistan ICC World Cup 2019

Pakistan have definitely kept their semi-final hopes alive after defeating the undefeated Blackcaps in the 33rd match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 by 6 wickets. Their next assignment comes in the form of Afghanistan who are yet to open their account of wins in this World Cup.

Best Performance in the World Cup:

Pakistan: Champions in 1992 edition.

Afghanistan: 1 win in the league stage of 2015 edition.

The conditions at the Headingley in Leeds

History suggests that this ground is meant for chasing scores rather than setting targets. Talking about the weather, it will be a dry and sunny day with some gentle breeze but the surface being dry will definitely assist the spinners. The wicket might get slower as the game progresses, therefore batting first will be a good idea.
