Former Speedster of Pakistan Shoaib Akhtar On Cricket World Cup 2023 Clash With Afghanistan
The Pakistan cricket team is getting ready for what is expected to be another close contest in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign. Pakistan takes on neighbouring Afghanistan in their fifth World Cup match, having won two and lost two of their previous four. Traditionally, the Pakistan vs. Afghanistan game has produced some intensely contested matches. Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar isn't expecting anything else but another game that could see tempers flare on the field. But he feels it won't just be Pakistan vs. Afghanistan but also Pakistan vs. the crowd and the groundsmen.
In a video shared on Twitter, Akhtar warned Babar Azam-led Pakistan against taking Afghanistan lightly. He said, by no means, would the contest be one-sided.

Akhtar captioned the video, saying, "It's not just #PAKvsAFG. It's Pak vs. the crowd. It's Pak vs. the groundsmen. Tough match for us. Afghanistan is a tough team; they're not any minnows or rollovers.”
