Pakistan Possible Playing 11: When Pakistan team faces Afghanistan in the World Cup today (23 October), there will be pressure on it to win at any cost. Actually, Pakistan has lost both its last matches. If she loses one more match here, she will lag far behind in the race for the semi-finals. In such a situation, the Pakistan team management would like to send only its perfect 11 on the field in today’s match.
Pakistan had made a big change in its playing-11 in the last match. The team had replaced its star all-rounder Shadab Khan with leg spinner Usama Mir. However, this experiment of Pakistan completely failed. Usama was able to take only one wicket, while he also dropped an easy catch of David Warner, which became the biggest reason for Pakistan’s defeat.
Shadab Khan is not in his rhythm at the moment. For this reason he had to be out of the playing-11. But this player is the best fielder of Pakistan. Along with this, he can prove to be a trump card for Pakistan at any time in batting. In such a situation, it is possible that in today’s match, Pakistan will once again give a chance to Shadab in place of Usama Mir.
