Match Preview
Pakistan’s pace battery—Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf—paired with utility overs from Mohammad Nawaz and Hasan Ali, gives them bite on Sharjah’s skiddy evening surface. With Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan in form, they’ll look to seize the powerplay.
Afghanistan counter with a world-class spin trio—Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Noor Ahmad—backed by Naveen-ul-Haq’s cutters. Gurbaz’s power at the top and Nabi’s experience in the middle make them dangerous in any chase.
Match Prediction
Pakistan strength: New-ball pace and explosive top order.
Afghanistan strength: Elite spin attack and impactful finishers.
Predicted Winner: Pakistan (55% win probability). Afghanistan’s spinners, however, can flip the script if they control the middle overs.
