PAK vs AFG: Pitch Report
The M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is famed for its conditions that favour spin bowlers, given its traditionally slow pitch. However, in an interesting twist, fast bowlers have found support in the recent two matches played here. Batsmen often need to adjust to the sluggish nature of the wicket. Looking back at the 26 ODIs hosted here, teams that batted first have generally had the upper hand, securing 15 wins, compared to 10 by teams batting second. One game concluded without a result. A first-innings average score of 234 indicates that batting seems a bit more manageable in the initial stages. Yet, as the match unfolds, the wicket tends to become even slower, making it tough for the teams batting in the second innings. In the current tournament, teams batting second have managed two wins, whereas the side batting first has emerged victorious once. The scores at this venue have varied widely, peaking at 337 and dipping as low as 69. The captain winning the toss is likely to bat first.
PAK vs AFG: Head-To-Head ODI Record
In ODIs, Pakistan and Afghanistan have locked horns 7 times. Pakistan has emerged victorious in all these encounters, leaving Afghanistan yet to register a win. When considering their face-offs in the ODI World Cup, they have met once, and in line with their overall ODI track record, Pakistan secured a win over Afghanistan.
