AFG vs PAK 2nd T20I: Head to Head, Playing XI, Preview, Where to Watch on TV, Online, and Live Streaming Details

Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan clinched a historic first win against Pakistan in the first of the three-match T20I series at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Pakistan were still well-equipped with a balanced mix of experience and young talent despite not having senior cricketers like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Haris Rauf, among others.

However, the Men in Green endured a disastrous start in the first innings, restricted to a meager 92 runs. Mujeeb ur Rahman, Rashid Khan and veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi shared five wickets between them to stamp their authority in the contest. This was followed by a brilliant chase by Nabi despite losing a few wickets early on in the contest.

The two sides will square off in the second T20I match at the same venue on Sunday, March 26. While Pakistan will aim to get level in the series. Afghanistan, on the other hand, have a terrific opportunity to take an unassailable lead and clinch the three-match series.

Shadab Khan and Co. will need to up the ante and put their best foot forward on Sunday to avoid another humiliation. An exciting clash awaits as it remains to be seen if Afghanistan can come close to the overall head-to-head tally in the T20Is, considering that they have lost thrice previously.

Pitch and Conditions

The surface at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium offers little assistance to batters and is a low-scoring venue. This was seen in the first T20I match as batters struggled to clear the boundary ropes to get big runs. Either skipper winning the toss will be inclined to field first to have a target in mind in the upcoming match.
