Team Previews
Pakistan Preview
Pakistan are topping the table in this tri-series with back-to-back wins. Their batting unit has looked dangerous, particularly Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz, who are scoring freely in the powerplay. Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman have not yet fired consistently but remain match-winners. The middle order relies heavily on Khushdil Shah and Mohammad Haris for acceleration.
On the bowling side, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf bring firepower with the new ball, while Mohammad Nawaz provides control in the middle overs. Young spinner Sufiyan Muqeem is also gaining confidence. With depth in batting and multiple bowling options, Pakistan look balanced and tough to beat.
Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan are placed second on the table, having registered one win and one loss. Their batting strength lies in the top order where Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal, and Ibrahim Zadran provide stability. Ibrahim in particular has shown great form with fluent stroke-making. The middle order is powered by Karim Janat, Azmatullah Omarzai, and veteran Mohammad Nabi, who bring finishing ability.
Bowling is Afghanistan’s biggest strength. Rashid Khan leads a world-class spin department, supported by Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Gulbadin Naib handle the pace duties. With their spin-heavy lineup, Afghanistan could pose a serious challenge to Pakistan, especially on the Sharjah track.
