Pakistan-Afghanistan ODI today

After tasting a bitter 12-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the opening match of the 12th Asia Cup, Pakistan will face newcomers Afghanistan today in their second match at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah. The match begins at 2.00 pm BST (Bangladesh Standard Time).
Bangladesh Television and private satellite channel Channel 9 will broadcast the match live from the stadium.
Before today’s match, Pakistan played their last match against Afghanistan on February 10, 2012. In that match, Pakistan defeated Afghanistan by seven wickets.
Mohammad Nabi’s Afghanistan was brought into the Asia Cup after it qualified for the 50-over World Cup scheduled next year.
And they would look to make a good impression in front of their four sub-continental neighbours, namely India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The interest that they have managed to generate by their presence notwithstanding, Afghanistan are not expected to go too far in the tournament given that they have played just two one-dayers against Test nations, losing both matches to Pakistan and Australia.
After getting ODI status in 2009, Afghanistan played 27 ODI matches. Of them, Afghanistan recorded wins in 16 matches and lost in 11 clashes.
