Two group stage wins should ideally mean just two
group stage wins. But in a tournament where they stand to play five more matches,
and at least three, the post-match celebration was not as clear with their
clinical and clean performances on the field.

Huddles, selfies, smiles - it all pointed out
that a win over New Zealand meant more than just a win for this side. Coming
into the showpiece event with thunder in the background, Pakistan now finds
itself in a comfortable position, even after the kind of start they are touted
as one of the favorites.
They have displayed tactical knowledge and fine
application to familiar conditions in the UAE to outperform possibly their two
strongest competitors in the group. And now comes a familiar challenge - not
living up to its previous reputation of surprisingly underperforming. The
slip-up could happen early Friday when they take on Afghanistan.
The Mohamed Nabi-led side may be coming into the tournament on the back of their turmoil, but the way they separated Scotland in the previous game after winning the warm-up match shows they meant serious business. Was and will be 'V' warns every other team participating in the competition.
He is familiar with the conditions in the UAE and
his natural approach fits well on the slower pitches. With the performances of
their spinners in the form of their aggressive openers - Mohammad Shahzad and
Hazratullah Zazai - they should stand strong enough to pose a threat to
Pakistan.
While the starters may not be great runners, the
rest of Afghanistan's hitters - specially Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Najibullah
Zadran - can test Pakistan's fielders at the big Dubai ground. Pakistan was
flawless on the field against India, and against New Zealand, they were equally
sloppy and spectacular.
Despite being the favorites to qualify from the
group, Pakistan still has an obstacle or two ahead - with a big start in
Afghanistan on Friday. Babar Azam has warned his team to control their emotions
and focus on the next challenge. But will it be that easy for them?
