Preview

United Arab Emirates (UAE) will clash against Afghanistan (AFG) in the first T20I match of the three-match home series at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on February 16. UAE, who rank 13th in ICC T20I Team rankings, will be playing their first game of 2023. They last played against Nepal in November 2022, where they lost by 1-2 in an away ODI series.

Afghanistan are also playing in their first game of 2023 after drawing a three-match away ODI series against Sri Lanka in November 2022. They have dropped seven players from their T20 World Cup 2023 squad after their abysmal performances, including the former captain and legendary all-rounder Mohammad Nabi. Afghanistan are clear favorites to win this match, having won four of their last five T20I encounters against UAE.
