Afghanistan
Afghanistan struggled a lot in the first two games of the series. None of the batsmen stayed at the crease for long and build a substantial partnership. The spin duo of Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman were not able to have the same impact that was expected of them. Afghanistan needs to fix its wounds and play exceptionally well to save the series.
