Head coach Jonathan Trott is hopeful Afghanistan can keep their World Cup campaign alive by pulling off a win against an under-pressure Pakistan, having come agonisingly close to defeating them earlier this year. The 42-year-old added that the passionate rivalry between the two teams, who are desperate to win, would make it an enthralling contest here on Monday.
Pakistan will be up against Afghanistan in Match 22 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 23 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India. The match is scheduled to begin at 02:00 PM IST. Pakistan made a winning start to their campaign with back-to-back victories over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. However, they have stumbled in the last two matches with defeats against arch-rivals India and Australia. A win over Afghanistan will put the Babar Azam-led team's campaign back on track.
Shreyas Iyer pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss the in-form Devon Conway during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and New Zealand on Sunday. Mohammed Siraj bowled a full-ish delivery to Conway during the fourth over of the match and the Kiwi opener went for a leg glance. The connection was very good but Iyer was alert at square leg and he made no mistake in completing a sharp catch. Following the dismissal, Shreyas gestured towards the dressing room to give him the "fielder of the match" medal - a custom that the team has introduced during the ongoing competition.

A desperate Pakistan will be wary of a competent group of Afghanistan spinners' ability to strike hard on an often-gripping Chepauk pitch during the World Cup match in Chennai on Monday. A win is mandatory for Babar Azam's side after two successive defeats against India and Australia, as another slip up will severely hamper their ambitions to reach the semifinals of the tournament. Currently, they are in the fifth position with four points from as many matches but their net run rate of -0.456 is a worry, and it needs improvement. Pakistan's big headache will be their batsmen's travails, especially against spinners.
India are off to a terrific start in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, with four wins on the trot. India, hosting the 50-over World Cup for the first time after winning it in 2011, are relishing playing in home conditions. Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are currently leading the run-scoring and wicket-taking list, leading India's charge for a third ODI World Cup title. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have been impressive with the bat, while Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav are doing a lot of damage with their spin. There have been some other great individual performances from the 2011 champions, but who has been the best player so far in the tournament? Although it is a close call, skipper Rohit Sharma's impactful contribution deserves the plaudits.
