Pakistan Bat First Against Afghanistan in UAE Tri-Series Final

The final of the UAE T20I Tri-series is set for Sunday at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, featuring Afghanistan and Pakistan, both having won three games each in the series. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first in the final, while the match is expected to start at 8:30 PM IST. The Sharjah pitch favors batsmen, but spinners could play a crucial role as the match progresses, especially considering dew has influenced outcomes in all previous games, where teams batting second have won. This contest is significant as a confidence booster ahead of the T20 Asia Cup, with Pakistan relying on their fast bowlers and Afghanistan banking on their spinners. Notable performers include Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran, the top scorer in the series, and Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman, who has been aggressive with the bat, alongside the promising leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed.
