PAK vs AFG Live Updates: Pitch Report

The Sharjah surface for this series has offered plenty of pace and bounce, making it quite different from the traditionally slower tracks here. The shine has worn off, but it hasn't turned into a spinner's paradise-fast bowlers have enjoyed success, especially with the new ball generating extra bounce. Batters, on the other hand, have found freedom to play their shots, particularly square on the off-side, with boundaries coming at a good rate. Dew has also been a factor, further aiding stroke play and keeping bowlers on their toes.

PAK vs AFG Cricket Score: Salman Ali Agha Speaks...

We wanted to chase today because there was a lot of dew yesterday. We have two changes. Shaheen and Haris are back. Salman and Hasan not playing. They (Afghanistan) have quality spinners and a very good side. We need to be careful against their mystery spinners. We have batters to counter them.

PAK vs AFG Live Updates: Rashid Khan Speaks...

We'll like to bat first. Runs on the board is important in Sharjah. We have 3-4 spinners. Dew will play a factor. In T20s, you never know what's a safe target. Anything above 170 would be a good total on this wicket. We need to adjust to the conditions as soon as possible. Win always gives you that positive energy. Everyone is relaxing and looking forward to this match. We have a couple of changes. Mujeeb isn't playing and Sharaf isn't playing. Ghazanfar is making is T20I debut and Noor is back.
