Afghanistan will be out for redemption

Afghanistan should be disappointed with the way they have played in this series so far. They have let themselves down after losing to Pakistan in the series opener, but last night’s win over the hosts, the UAE, by 38 runs, has helped them regain confidence for the rest of the series.

Talking about their last night’s victory over the UAE by 38 runs, put into bat first, Afghanistan scored a brilliant 188 for the loss of 4 wickets. Afghanistan rode on some brilliant batting displays from Sediqullah Atal (54 off 40) and Ibrahim Zadran (63 off 40). The duo stitched 84 runs for the second wicket, along with a late bloom from Azmatullah Omarzai’s unbeaten 20 off 12 and Karim Janat’s unbeaten 23 off 10 deliveries, which helped Afghanistan to get to a score they defended easily.

UAE’s chase was led by skipper Muhammad Waseem and wicket-keeper batter Rahul Chopra. Waseem’s 67 off 37 and Rahul Chopra’s unbeaten 52 off 35 deliveries helped UAE get to 150 for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. UAE fell 38 runs short of the target, with Sharafuddin Ashraf and skipper Rashid Khan scalping 3 wickets each.

Pakistan will look to continue their good run

Pakistan has been a much-improved side in this tri-series. A lot of questions were asked about their squad and how they would fare in this series ahead of the start, but so far, it has been good. Pakistan is unbeaten so far in this tri-series with 2 out of 2 wins and are looking good enough for securing a third win on the trot.

Pakistan kicked off this series with a win over this very opponent by 39 runs. In the next match against the hosts, UAE secured a 31-run victory. After securing two wins in two, Pakistan has looked brilliant and will be looking to get a double over Afghanistan, a team that has troubled them in the past, particularly in the shortest format of the game. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

Weather Conditions and Pitch Report

Here’s the pitch and weather report for the 4th match of the United Arab Emirates T20I Tri-Nation Series 2025 between Afghanistan and Pakistan at the Sharjah Cricket Ground, Sharjah:

Pitch ReportWeather Report
The Sharjah surface remains batting-friendly, with short boundaries and a flat deck ideal for stroke play.Expect clear skies with no rain forecast, ensuring a full match without interruptions.
However, the pitch can be double-paced, especially in the second innings, bringing spinners into play.Temperature will hover around 34–36°C, with humidity near 78%, making conditions physically demanding.
Afghanistan’s spinners—Rashid Khan, Mujeeb, Noor Ahmad—are well-suited to exploit the surface’s grip and turn.A light breeze (10–12 km/h) may offer minimal swing early on, but dew is unlikely to be a major factor.
Seamers must rely on variations—cutters and slower balls—to succeed here.Overall, conditions favor batters early on, but fitness and hydration will be key under the intense heat.

Toss Prediction

With Sharjah’s surface favoring batters early and slowing down later, the toss-winning captain is likely to opt to bowl first. Chasing has proven effective here, especially under lights. Both Afghanistan and Pakistan will aim to exploit the new ball, control the middle overs, and back their hitters to finish strong.
