Here's how to watch this match live and for free from anywhere using a VPN.

For a team that has been ranked #1 or #2 in the world in limited overs cricket over the past few weeks, Pakistan has had a disappointing time. They finished last in the Super 4 at the Asia Cup and have lost two of their last four matches at the World Cup in India.

Pakistan's batting lineup was their strength before the tournament, but they have been slow to catch fire. Captain Babar Azam's batting average is 20 so far; at least Mohammad Rizwan is having a great game.

Afghanistan was the only one of the five Asian countries to fail to advance to the Super 4 stage in the recent Asian Cup. Therefore, a semifinal appearance in this year's tournament was never a realistic possibility. Instead, it was more important to see how many more wins they could add to their paltry total of one win in 15 World Cup matches.

They had already taken the trophy from World Cup holders England. Would Pakistan be next?
