Pakistan vs Afghanistan prediction

The first encounter between these two sides in Sharjah saw Pakistan emerge victorious by 39 runs, but since then Afghanistan have significantly improved and that was reflected by their win over Pakistan in the rematch four days later, Rashid Khan’s side winning by 18 runs. Both teams defeated United Arab Emirates twice, setting up this final which really could go either way.

This will likely come down to who handles the occasion better and which team doesn’t freeze. After being rested last time out against UAE, Rashid returns to lead Afghanistan and it would be no surprise if he was to play a starring role in such a big game on a pitch that should suit the star spinner in Sharjah. Therefore, back over 1.5 match wickets for the Afghanistan T20 captain.
