UAE vs AFG Key battles:

Muhammad Waeem vs Mujeeb Ur Rahman

The UAE captain, Muhammad Waseem, would like to lead from the front after failing to do so in the previous match against Pakistan.

Waseem will go head-to-head against Mujeeb Ur Rahma, who was the most economical bowler in Afghanistan's first match of the series, and would hope to replicate the same performance against the UAE.

Asif Khan vs Mohammad Nabi

Middle-order batter Asif Khan, who tried his best to take the UAE over the line in the previous match but was dismissed after scoring 77 runs, would wish to get the job done in the next match against Afghanistan.

Asif will have to tackle the bowling of Mohammad Nabi, who is the most experienced player in Afghanistan's lineup.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz vs Dhruv Parashar

Afghanistan's attacking opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who was dismissed after getting set in a midling run chase against Pakistan, will look to finish the game in the upcoming outing against the UAE.

Gurbaz will be up against Dhruv Parashar, who is expected to take the new ball for UAE from one end.

Azmatullah Omarzai vs Haider Ali

Azmatullah Omarazi, who batted at number six against Pakistan, would be better off batting in the top five in the upcoming game.

Omarzai will face the challenge of Haider Ali, who picked up two wickets in the previous game and would wish to put on another strong performance.
