Sharjah: Afghanistan have set a target of 196-runs for a strong Pakistan in the first and only one-day international match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
Weak Afghanistan could not face dazzling bowling spell of Shahid Afridi who took five-for and restrained to 195-runs.
Opener Karim Sadiq and middle-order batsman Muhammad Nabi helped Afghanistan to reach near 200. Both the batsmen failed to make half-centuries but scored 40 and 37, respectively. While Samiullah Shenwari also chipped in with 32 runs.
Star of the test series Saeed Ajmal failed to take a single wicket but remained very economical and gave only 32 runs in his 10 over spell. Fast bowlers Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz picked up two wickets each.
