Afghans bat against Pakistan in World Cup
Afghanistan skipper Gulbadin Naib has won the toss and elected to bat against Pakistan in their Cricket World Cup game at Headingley.
Pakistan are still in contention for a semi-final spot after beating New Zealand by six wickets on Wednesday and have retained the same XI.
Afghanistan can't be taken for granted in Leeds. Despite losing all seven group games so far, they gave India an unexpected scare in Southampton.
The minnows have made one change to their line-up after Monday's 62-run defeat to Bangladesh, bringing in veteran paceman Hamid Hassan for Dawlat Zadran.
Pakistan, World Cup winners in 1992, have the same win-loss record through seven games as they had achieved 27 years ago - three wins, three losses and one no-result.
Conditions are hot and the wicket appears good.
