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

Pakistan and Afghanistan face off in Super 4 of Asia Cup 2022 on September 7, Wednesday. Afghanistan came into Super 4 on the back of two wins in as many games in the group stage but faced their first defeat in this round to Sri Lanka. Pakistan, on the other hand, come into the game with two wins on the spin and have a chance of ensuring their qualification for the final on Wednesday.

Pakistan sealed a thrilling win over India on Sunday in Dubai, chasing a target of 182. Mohammad Nawaz was given the Player of the Match for his all-round performance, and the Men in Green are level on points with Sri Lanka. Afghanistan must simply win this game to stay alive in this tournament, or they would have to bank on Pakistan to win their game against Sri Lanka.

Pitch and Conditions

The wicket on Sharjah Cricket Stadium generally produces a good surface for batting. This venue has hosted three games in the Asia Cup so far, and there have been three totals of above 170. The temperatures, as it has been throughout the tournament, will be hot and there will be no dew as the day progresses. And the spinners are expected to come into play in the middle phase of the innings.
