Afridi removed Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah off back-to-back deliveries in the third over while Naseem sent back skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi the next over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Afghanistan&#39;s hopes dimmed with three batters departing for ducks and the scoreboard reading 8\/3. Haris Rauf joined the party with a wicket in his first over. He sent back the determined Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the 14th over to trigger another collapse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>From 35\/5, Afghanistan were cleaned up for 59, their second-lowest total in ODIs as Rauf finished with career-best figures of 5\/18. It was the fourth time that Pakistan had bowled out an opposition side under 20 overs in an ODI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was also the lowest total made by a team against Pakistan in men&#39;s ODIs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan have made a strong start to a busy season with the win, but more importantly, their pace attack is shaping up pretty well with the World Cup right around the corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since 2021, Pakistan&#39;s pacers have been phenomenal in ODIs with the ball. Rauf leads the pack with 43 wickets in 21 matches at an average of 24.02. Even though the others haven&#39;t played as many ODIs as Rauf, their numbers are no less impressive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-records-in-history\">Cricket History<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan 201 all out in 47.1 overs (Imam-ul-Haq 61, Shadab Khan 39; Mujeeb Ur Rahman 3-33, Mohammad Nabi 2-24, Rashid Khan 2-42) beat Afghanistan 59 all out in 19.2 overs (Rahmanullah Gurbaz 18; Haris Rauf 5-18, Shaheen Shah Afridi 2-9) by 142 runs.<\/p>\r\n",
