AFG vs PAK Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is expected to be a bit dry, given the weather, which is hot in the UAE at this time of the year.
The team batting first should not expect a flat batting wicket, which has been the case of late in T20 cricket.
Sharjah Stadium surface at this particular venue may have a bit of assistance for the spinners, and batters might have to grind it out in he middle with the ball gripping in the surface and not coming as nicely on the bat as batters are used to.
The bowlers, on the other hand, will enjoy bowling on the surface that the ground will offer for the first match of the tri series between Afghanistan and Pakistan if they pitch the ball in he right areas.
The spinners will have to bowl a bit slow in pace to get something out from the surface, a skill that has diminished to a great extent in modern-day cricket.
As far as the fast bowlers are concerned, they will have to rely on cutters and slower balls once the ball gets old.
The team that wins the toss should look to bat first and post an above-par total on the board to get the opposition under pressure.
A score of 170-180 runs can be a winning total in the first AFG vs PAK match, given the quality of bowling that both sides have at their disposal.
However, Afghanistan look stronger of the two teams on paper, given their recent form, although they haven't played a single T20I match since 2024, but have a settled core led by experienced leg spinner Rashid Khan.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has had a topsy-turvy journey of late, with a series loss against Bangladesh followed by a 2-1 series win over the West Indies.
The Salman Ali Agha-led side, which will be without the services of experienced batters Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, will look to put on a spirited performance in all three departments of the game.
Conclusion
Afghanistan would like to start the tri-series on a positive note by winning the opening game against Pakistan and building on it in the matches to come.
As far as Pakistan is concerned, the Salman Ali Agha-led side would look to put on a strong performance in the tri-series as well, which is followed by a series win over the West Indies.
