In a historic twist of events, Afghanistan achieved a remarkable feat by bowling out Pakistan in the first ODI of their three-match series happening in Sri Lanka. This achievement marked the first instance of Afghanistan successfully dismissing Pakistan’s cricket team across any format.

Despite their impressive performance on the field, Afghanistan faced a challenging task when it came to chasing down Pakistan’s target of 201 runs.
The Afghan team struggled to handle the pressure and was ultimately bowled out for a mere 59 runs in 19.2 overs, unable to meet the set target.
