PAK vs AFG Match Preview
Pakistan is coming into this match in good form and with its confidence sky-high. Its spinners have performed quite well and Mohammad Rizwan at the top of the order has been excellent as well. Afghanistan won both of its matches in the group stage but lost a narrow game to Sri Lanka in the top 4.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz has carried the batting but it is Afghanistan's bowling that has so far been fantastic.
Weather Report
There is no rain around and the conditions will be quite hot. There is no dew around but chasing seems to be an advantage never the less.
Pitch Report
The pitch has continued to be very good for batting. It is flat, even-paced, and does not offer much help to the bowlers. A lot of runs are expected to be scored once more. The only thing that we would say is that Afghanistan is not a very dependable batting lineup and Pakistan has a habit of rolling over weaker teams.

- Haris Rauf is the first-choice death bowler for Pakistan. If Pakistan fields first, his value becomes exponentially more to your Dream11 setup
