PAKISTAN vs AFGHANISTAN: Match Preview
This is going to be the tenth match of the Asia Cup 2022 where Pakistan will go head to head against Afghanistan to secure their spot in the final. Pakistan are devoid of match practice. They have only played four T20I’s in 2022 thus far against Australia and India and on both instances, they faced defeat. They crushed India in their first game of super four which was last over-thriller so that should do a lot to their confidence. Babar Azam and his men will be ready to take on Afghanistan and progress further into this tournament.
Afghanistan on the other hand are coming from a close defeat to Ireland in the five-match T20I series so they will be looking to bounce back and make a mark in this Asia Cup. They possess a strong spin-bowling attack and a nice balanced batting unit. Afghanistan have played some brilliant cricket so far in Asia Cup 2022 so they will be looking to continue their momentum. Mohammad Nabi and his men will be looking to make the most of their abilities and pave their way towards the final of this wonderful tournament.
Prediction: PAKISTAN to win
