Afghanistan will bowl 40 overs of spin, can reach CT semis: Aakash

Ex-India batter Aakash Chopra opined that there is a "strong possibility" of Afghanistan reaching the semifinals of the Champions Trophy 2025. "Their strategy is very simple. They'll bowl 40 overs of spin," he added. "They'll want 270 to 280-run matches. They won't want 325 to 350-run pitches," Aakash further stated. Afghanistan will face South Africa on February 21 in Karachi.
