Team form (Last 5 matches)
Pakistan
Afghanistan
Pakistan began the tri-series strongly with a 31-run victory over UAE, powered by a 69-run blitz from Saim Ayub and sharp bowling from Hasan Ali and Mohammad Nawaz. Their batting depth gives them the ability to recover even after early wickets, while their bowling attack has enough variation to exploit Sharjah’s conditions.
Afghanistan bounced back with a 38-run win over UAE thanks to Ibrahim Zadran and Sediqullah Atal, but their batting has shown vulnerability under scoreboard pressure. While the Afghan spinners remain a threat on these surfaces, Pakistan’s batting order has more experience against quality spin, which could tilt the balance.

PAK vs AFG Team Previews
Pakistan
Pakistan’s opening win over UAE saw their top order fire, with Saim Ayub smashing 69 at a strike rate of 181. Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan also provided impetus. Their middle order, led by captain Salman Agha, still has room to improve, but the lower order (Hasan Nawaz, Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf) adds finishing power.
Bowling-wise, Hasan Ali showed why he remains a reliable wicket-taker, while Mohammad Nawaz and Saim Ayub offered control in the middle overs. Pakistan’s balance between pace and spin makes them adaptable in Sharjah.
Pakistan Expected Playing 11
Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Agha (c), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Haris (wk), Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Salman Mirza, Sufiyan Muqeem

Afghanistan
Afghanistan posted 188/4 against UAE, with Ibrahim Zadran (63) and Sediqullah Atal (54) leading the charge. Gurbaz’s early dismissal remains a concern as he is vital to their powerplay momentum. Their lower-middle order of Omarzai and Janat adds finishing punch, but consistency remains an issue.
Bowling is Afghanistan’s trump card – Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Nabi on Sharjah’s slow surface will test Pakistan’s batters. Fazalhaq Farooqi’s early swing could be key to early breakthroughs.
Afghanistan Expected Playing 11
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli, Karim Janat, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan (c), Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Fazalhaq Farooqi
PAK vs AFG Toss Prediction
Teams may prefer to bat first. In Sharjah, both Pakistan and Afghanistan have defended totals comfortably, with chasing teams failing to keep up once spin takes over.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Sharjah’s surface is slow, with spinners dominating the middle overs. However, the small boundaries keep totals competitive. Expect a par score of 165–175. Weather: clear skies, dry conditions (~33°C), no rain interruptions.
PAK vs AFG: Who Will Win?
Afghanistan’s spinners could keep this game tight, but Pakistan’s batting depth and balanced bowling attack give them an edge. If their top order survives Rashid Khan’s spell, Pakistan should take control.
