Series: Afghanistan v Pakistan in UAE, 2023
Afghanistan vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I 26th march Evening nine thirty PM
Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
Afghanistan and Pakistan are set to lock horns in the second game of the three-match T20I series on Sunday, March 26. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium will host the contest.
Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, made a brilliant start to the series after taking a 1-0 lead with a six-wicket history. On Friday, March 24, the Afghans also registered their maiden win over Pakistan in international cricket.
Pakistan handed T20I caps to four of their newcomers – Ihsanullah, Tayyab Tahir, Zaman Khan, and Saim Ayub. But the tactic didn’t quite work out as they were restricted to 92/9 in 20 overs. Imad Wasim scored 18 runs, but he couldn’t go beyond a strike-rate of 56.25.
Fazalhaq Farooqi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi picked up two wickets apiece. Ihsanullah picked up two wickets in his very first over at the international level, but the Afghans chased down the target with 13 balls to spare.
With Afghanistan being reduced to 45 for four in 9.4 overs, Nabi and Najibullah Zadran put on 53 runs for the fifth wicket. Nabi stood out with the bat after he scored 38 runs with three fours and a six.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the venue in Sharjah wasn’t easy for batting by any means. Another fairly low-scoring match seems to be on the cards. Fielding first after winning the toss should be the preferred option for teams.
