PAK vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis (Who Will Win?)
Pakistan come into this encounter riding high on consistency, with successive wins built on power-packed batting; highlighted by Saim Ayub’s 69 and Hasan Nawaz’s 56 in their last outing; and incisive bowling from Hasan Ali and Mohammad Nawaz. Afghanistan, although boasting world-class talent like Rashid Khan and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, will need a collective batting resurgence and more partnerships to threaten Pakistan’s unbeaten streak. With Sharjah’s pitch favoring aggressive batting early and aiding spinners later, Pakistan’s adaptable side and better recent form make them favorites, but Afghanistan’s spin arsenal keeps them well in contention.
