LEEDS: Pakistan are expected to make no changes to their final XI in another must-win match against Afghanistan at Headingley, Leeds on Saturday.

Pakistan, who beat South Africa and New Zealand earlier this week to stay in contention for the final four, need to win their final two matches to retain a realistic chance of reaching the semi-finals after a slow start to the tournament.

Afghanistan, appearing in just their second World Cup since their debut in 2015, are already out of the race and playing for pride after losing all seven of their matches so far.
