AFG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Zimbabwe vs Netherlands Match Preview

Afghanistan is taking on Pakistan in the first T20I of the three match series in Sharjah, UAE. 

Afghanistan is looking a formidable unit, comprising some brilliant T20 players in all departments. They will be led by Rashid Khan, who will be leading their spin attack alongside Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi. The likes of FazalHaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai will take care of the pace battery. Ibrahim Zadran had a great tournament last year in the Asia Cup in UAE. Overall, a solid side to challenge Pakistan, especially in these conditions. 

On the other side, Pakistan will be without some of their first team players, including skipper Babar Azam. Shadab Khan will be captaining the side in absence of Babar. It is a young team with four uncapped players in the squad. However, considering the recent good form of the players from the PSL, a great contest awaits infront of us.

AFG vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Venue and Pitch Report

The Sharjah surface has always been suitable for batters and has something for the spinners. Batters always have the advantage against the new hard ball, but find it difficult to sustain the brisk rate once the powerplay gets over. The first innings score is expected to be around 170. Considering it’s the first T20I, the team winning the toss should bowl first. 

 

Weather Report 

The weather is expected to be clear at Sharjah throughout the day. There is no rain predicted during the match time.

No such injury concerns in either side.
