Afghanistan opt to bat first against Pakistan

Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat first against Pakistan at Leeds.

Pakistan are high on optimism after back-to-back victories over South Africa and New Zealand and would like to carry forward the winning momentum when they face Afghanistan at Headingley on Saturday in a bid to qualify for the World Cup 2019 semi-finals.

Bottom-placed Afghanistan have lost all seven matches that they have played so far and have no scope of making it to semi-finals.
