Afghanistan vs Pakistan prediction

This is a highly-anticipated contest between two teams who should be well-matched when it comes to T20 cricket. Pakistan have back-to-back games to contend with, taking on Afghanistan here before facing United Arab Emirates on the following day. But their batters face a huge test on what is normally a pitch in Sharjah that favours spin bowling.

Afghanistan are spin-rich and boast substantial quality in that department, led of course by Rashid Khan. This may well give them the edge against Pakistan at a ground like Sharjah and with that in mind, backing Afghanistan to open up this tri-nation series with a win over Pakistan warrants serious consideration.
