Afghanistan vs Pakistan Team Preview

Afghanistan

A three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and Pakistan will kick off the Asia Cup preparations in Sri Lanka. The series is anticipated to be an exciting contest because the two teams have recently had a fierce sporting rivalry.

Afghanistan will be headed by Hashmatullah Shahidi, and they will be armed to the teeth. The team is expected to launch a strong spin attack led by Noor Ahmed, Mujeeb ur Rahman, and the legendary Rashid Khan.

Pakistan

Afghanistan has recently performed well in ODIs, particularly in subcontinental conditions, and won the most recent series against Bangladesh. On the other side, Pakistan hosted New Zealand at home and defeated them 4-1.

The series provides Pakistan with an excellent opportunity to select the finest combination for the Asia Cup and World Cup. While the majority of the regulars have been included in the Pakistan side for the series, Emerging Asia Cup player Tayyab Tahir is a surprise inclusion. It will be fascinating to see whether he is given a game in the series. Naseem Shah is expected to miss the series after suffering an injury in the Lanka Premier League.

The captain who wins the toss will almost certainly bat first because chasing will be difficult.

The sky will be gloomy with a thick cloud cover. Rain chances, on the other hand, are merely 2%. The temperature will be between 32- and 26 degrees Fahrenheit.

The pitch will aid spinners, while pacers will benefit from early movement. The batters must allow themselves some time at the plate. Once a batter has adjusted to the pace and bounce, scoring runs should be easy.
