Newcomers Afghanistan ran through an insipid Pakistan top-order before Umar Akmal revived the innings with a hard fought century — the second of his career.</div>

Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bowl first. After a 55 run opening stand, the middle-order perished limply and the defending champions had crashed at 117 for six in the 30<sup style="line-height: 0;">th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>over of the innings before Akmal(102) and Anwar Ali(21) revived the innings with a 60 run stand for the seventh wicket.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', times-roman, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 7px 0px 0.3em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Akmal pushed the accelerator in the closing stages of the innings. He reached his second ODI hundred in the last over of the innings where he pummelled 18 runs, and Pakistan reached 248 for 8 in the allotted overs, setting up a decent target for the minnows on a flat wicket.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', times-roman, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 7px 0px 0.3em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The last three wickets more than doubled the runs accumulated by the main batsmen, who had all fallen at a series of tame scores. Ahmed Shehzad was the other main run-getter, scoring 50 off 74 balls.</div>
