Afghanistan vs Pakistan Team Preview
Afghanistan
Afghanistan entered this T20I series with all of its seasoned stars, and the outcome of the opening game demonstrated how the experience could be beneficial. It took the whole force of their star players to defeat Pakistan with ease.
It is difficult to imagine Afghanistan making any changes to their starting 11 for the second T20I following such a lopsided victory.
Pakistan
Pakistan’s young team for this series, which excluded talents like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi, failed to create a good impression as the entire batting order collapsed against Afghanistan’s reliable spin unit.
It is only natural that players like Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood will rejoin Pakistan’s starting Lineup for the second T20I after being ruthlessly destroyed.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
The last game’s outcome will be taken into consideration by both captains at the toss because scoring on such wickets is never simple. The toss-winning team will choose to bowl first.
The weather in Sharjah will be excellent, but the players’ level of fitness will be put to the test by the heat and humidity.
It is very difficult for the batsmen to counterattack the bowlers on this sandy, dry ground.
