Pakistan’s young team is struggling against the world’s top spinners from Afghanistan on very slow tracks. Only Imad Wasim and the captain of the Pakistan team Shadab Khan showed some class in the second t20i. All others have failed to score runs in the first two matches. From the bowling performance, only Ihsanullah bowled so well, who is also a youngster.
