Three Asian teams, UAE, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, are set to clash against each other in an exciting T20I tri-series ahead of the highly anticipated multi-national event, Asia Cup 2025. The UAE will host the other two teams, which will kick off the series on August 29. Fans will find out the AFG vs PAK live streaming and other match details of the tri-series here.
All three teams have shown strong form recently. UAE defeated Bangladesh 2-0 at home earlier this year, while Afghanistan, under the leadership of Rashid Khan, secured a 2-1 away win over Zimbabwe in December 2024. Pakistan, led by Salman Ali Agha, recovered from a 4-1 loss in New Zealand with a 3-0 clean sweep against Bangladesh at home but fell short in the return series. They regained rhythm by clinching their latest T20I series in the West Indies 2-1.
In the tri-series, six matches have been played so far, with only the final remaining. Pakistan started with a 39-run win over Afghanistan after posting 182/7, with captain Salman Agha named Player of the Match for his 53 off 36 balls.
In the second game, Pakistan defeated UAE by 31 runs after putting up 207 runs in the first innings. Saim Ayub scored 69 from 38 balls and was named Player of the Match.
Afghanistan then claimed their first win by beating UAE by 38 runs, after making 188/4 in 20 overs. Sharafuddin Ashraf took three wickets for 24 runs and won the Player of the Match award.
In the fourth clash, Afghanistan avenged their earlier defeat to Pakistan, winning by 18 runs after scoring 169/5 in 20 overs. Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran both struck half-centuries, while in the second innings Fazalhaq Farooqi, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Noor Ahmad bowled brilliantly, taking two wickets each to seal the win.
Pakistan answered strongly in the fifth match, defeating UAE by 31 runs. They posted 171 runs, led by Fakhar Zaman’s 77, before Abrar took four wickets to complete the win.
In the sixth match of the series, Afghanistan won a close contest against UAE by four runs. Contributions with the bat from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran in the first innings, followed by economical spells from Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sharafuddin Ashraf, and Noor Ahmad in the second innings, helped Afghanistan clinch the victory.
The final of the series will be between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Both teams finished the group stage with three wins and one loss, but Pakistan had a better net run rate. Unfortunately for UAE, they lost all their matches. The final will be played on September 7 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
