Afghanistan will face South Africa in their first match of the ongoing Champions Trophy at the newly-renovated National Stadium in Karachi on Friday. At the Champions Trophy, Rashid Khan will yet again lead a formidable spin attack that has been instrumental for Afghanistan’s international success. The breakout team of the last two ICC World Cups – both ODI in 2023 and T20 in 2024 – faces a potential speed bump, though. Like the colourful ‘jingle trucks’ and ornately painted inter-city buses, batsmen are expected to strut their stuff on the belter pitches Pakistan rolls out for this 50-over tournament. Given how brittle their own batting is against spinners, all indications are that these tracks will actually resemble Pakistan highways. But the Afghans could well steer the jingle trucks and light up the highways – with or without spin.
