But they would not want to slip up against Afghanistan, who surprised the hosts on Saturday with a 32-run win.Afghanistan's bowling attack has good variety and the bowlers can be aggressive with the new ball. Shapoor Zadran, Dawlat Zadran and Hamid Hassan have been quite attacking with their lengths, but surprisingly, they have not been using the bouncers.
