When Afghanistan putting pressure on the Pakistani batsmen, Gulbadin Naib just came in and gave 18 runs off his over which gave Pakistan the upper hand. It just took one man to undo all the hard work from the other Afghanistan bowlers. Twitterati were furious after Gulbadin Naib failed miserably.

Brief Scores: Afghanistan 227/9 in 50 overs (Asghar Afghan 42, Najibullah Zadran 42; Shaheen Afridi 4/47, Wahab Riaz 2/29) lost to Pakistan 230/7 in 49.4 overs (Imad Wasim 49*, Babar Azam 45; Mohammad Nabi 2/23, Mujeeb Ur Rahman 2/34) by 3 wickets

Without a doubt!

Here Pakistan take the W!

Gulbadin Naib is the most brainless captain Cricket has ever seen, gave the game on platter to Pakistan from a strong winning position #PAKvAFG

Bigger villain than those Thanos?

What a shame the captain thinks he can make himself look the hero and instead of sticking with what is working and winning the match he hands the match to Pakistan by thinking he can bowl, Gulbadin Naib what a LOSER

Unbelievable!

I will never understand why Gulbadin Naib didn't just let his spinners continue. Leaked 18 runs!

Afghanistan had worked hard to be in a winning position.#PAKvAFG

Proof that Naib is still a kid!

Gulbadin Naib is that guy who owns the cricket bat.

Comes first to bat

Comes first to bowl.

Apparently I was also like that 😂😂#AFGvPAK

Gully cricket feels!

Naib is like that guy of gully cricket who has authority over bat&ball and hence he will take first batting and all the bowling. Don't know what he wanted to prove.#CBHaveYourSay
