Afghanistan vs Pakistan at a glance
- With scores of 92 and 130 runs in two games, Pakistan’s batting has struggled and they will be feeling unconfident.
- Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman, two Afghan spinners, have utilized the circumstances wonderfully.
- Pakistan’s team lacks experience and isn’t accustomed to playing on fields where the ball pauses.
Afghanistan vs Pakistan Team Preview
Afghanistan
The previous two games in the series had been overwhelmingly won by Afghanistan by margins of 6 and 7 wickets, respectively. Rashid Khan has effectively guided his team to victory after demolishing a weak Pakistani team that lacked talents like Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and others.
Afghanistan is anticipated to start with the same starting Lineup in the third T20 International given that no injuries have been reported on this team.
Pakistan
Shadab Khan will be pushing his inexperienced but young and competitive team to give it their all in order to defeat Afghanistan in at least one T20 match in Sharjah.
The World No. 3 team in the ICC Men’s Rankings does appear to want to give each of its chosen players an opportunity to play against Afghanistan, as evidenced by the potential inclusion of Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed in the Starting Lineup.

Afghanistan vs Pakistan outfield report

As the chasing team won both games, we think the side that wins the toss should choose to bowl first.
As the humidity will reach its highest point during the match hours, about 55%, there are no chances of rain. It is anticipated that the temperature will range from 22 to 17 degrees.
Because spinners can get some good turns in the later overs, this stadium is not a comfortable hunting ground for batsmen.
