The opening match of the UAE Tri-series between Afghanistan and Pakistan is underway at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Winning the toss, Pakistan captain Salman Agha elected to bat first in the contest.

Pakistan looking for perfect combination

Pakistan are coming into the series fresh off a 2-1 win in a three-match T20 series vs West Indies. While they are coming with a series win under their belt, the Pakistani team has looked a little disoriented since Salman Agha was made captain of the squad, and they will be trying to fix this issue in the tri-series to have a successful campaign in the Asia Cup, which will also be played in the T20 format this year.   

Afghanistan eye another strong outing

Afghanistan’s match vs Pakistan in the tri-series opener will be their first T20 match since December 2024, and the last thing the team will want is to be rusty before the start of the Asia Cup. Afghanistan have been one of the most impressive T20 sides in recent times, and their qualification for the semifinals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was proof of that.
 
Now the Rashid Khan-led side will try to stage a strong outing in the tri-series to establish themselves as one of the favourites to win the Asia Cup if not the outright favourite.
