ICC World Cup 2019:5 Conclusions from the warm-up matches

#2 Pakistan are in serious trouble

Afghanistan was able to score an upset over Pakistan

Pakistan got a wake-up call at the hands of Afghanistan as the Afghans comfortably beat them in their warmup match. The eternally enigmatic team has been on a winless streak that extends to more than 10 matches and they seem to be low on confidence.

The problem has been the team's inability to perform. The batting is still doing a decent job but with Amir out of form, Riaz still not playing at 100% and an inexperienced Shaheen Afridi, the bowling unit is suffering. The team needs to sort themselves out because the World Cup won't provide too many opportunities for the teams to slip up.
