On Friday (October 6), the cricket fans of India and Pakistan were rooting for their respective teams in the semifinals held at the ZJUT Cricket Field in Hangzhou, China in the 2023 Asian Games. India easily hammered Bangladesh in the first semifinal but to the disappointment of the Pakistani supporters, Qasim Akram and company failed to defend a paltry target of 116 against Afghanistan in the second semifinal.

After winning the toss Afghanistan chose to bowl first. And though Pakistan got off to a decent start, they started to lose wickets regularly following the dismissal of opener Mirza Tahir Baig.

Fareed Ahmed scalped the most wickets for Afghanistan as he dismissed three batters for 15 runs in three overs. Qasim Akram and Zahir Khan picked up two wickets each. Captain Gulbadin Naib and Karim Janat bagged one wicket each.
