Afghanistan vs Pakistan, UAE tri-series Match 1: Live Score and Updates from Sharjah

Salman Agha’s Pakistan is eager to rectify their course as they enter a crucial month of preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is just six months away. Their first challenge comes from their regional rivals, Afghanistan, who have quietly advanced past many of their Asian competitors to establish themselves as a formidable team ahead of next month’s Asia Cup.

In the past two months, Pakistan has experienced a mixed bag in limited-overs cricket. The often unpredictable team stumbled in the T20Is against Bangladesh but managed to clinch a series victory in the West Indies. This upcoming T20I will mark the first encounter between Afghanistan and Pakistan since the 2023 Asian Games. Notably, Rashid Khan’s squad has triumphed in three of the last four T20I matchups against Pakistan, including two consecutive victories in Sharjah, the site of their forthcoming clash.

The first T20I match of the tri-series between Pakistan and Afghanistan will be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on August 29. The match will start at 8:30 PM IST.
