Match Tips:
Weather Forecast: The hottest day of the tournament so far has been predicted for the match between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Leeds.
There is no chance of rain and we can expect a dry, sunny day.
Like most of the recent matches, the Headingley pitch is expected to slow down as the match progresses, thus making it difficult to score runs.
Typically, the Headingley pitch has something in it for the spinners.
Match Prediction: As has been the trend in this World Cup, batting first and putting a decent total on the board may be the best strategy for this match.
Pakistan needs to win every match in order to stand a chance for qualifying for the semis. They have the momentum and will be clear favourites to win against an erratic Afghanistan side.
Key Players:
Afghanistan: Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Rahmat Shah
Pakistan: Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez
