PAK vs AFG live stream: how to watch Cricket World Cup 2023 online, team news, Pakistan bowling

After two demoralising defeats, Pakistan have the opportunity on Monday, October 23 to recover their 2023 Cricket World Cup against a dangerous Afghanistan side. The PAK vs AFG live stream continues following Pakistan's innings, which finished at 282/7. It may not be the biggest total of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, but it should prove a challenge for Afghanistan to chase down on what has clearly been a tricky track to bat on today — especially against the spinners.

Below, are all the details for the PAK vs AFG streaming services in the US, UK and Australia. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch PAK vs AFG live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Hoping to bounce back from their humiliating defeat to India, Pakistan spent the first 35 overs of their match against Australia watching the ball disappear to all parts of the ground. Shaheen Afridi may have ended with a five-fer, but the Men in Green were never really in the game after David Warner and Mitch Marsh's 259-run onslaught and they eventually succumbed to a 62-run loss.

They'll have to be far better against an Afghanistan side that shouldn't be taken lightly. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has looked like one of the most in form batters at the tournament, and spin twins Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan are always a threat. It will be interesting to see how the drubbing from New Zealand last Wednesday will affect their confidence heading to Chennai today.

Afghanistan may not have beaten Pakistan in ODIs before, but they've already broken their duck against England in this tournament. Could they go one better than they did in August, when they fell perilously short — their neighbors pipping them by just one wicket on the penultimate ball of the match?

Pakistan allrounder Shadab Khan was dropped for the Australia game, but comes in for Mohammad Nawaz who has been struck down by a fever. It's just one change for Afghanistan, too — 18-year-old leg-spinner Noor Ahmad makes his World Cup debut, with Fazalhaq Farooqi dropping out of the XI.
