Squad Comparison for Afghanistan vs Pakistan   

Afghanistan

The Afghan team management has named a 17-member team for this series and the outfit will be led as normal by Rashid Khan. It will be his 2nd task after the ICC T20 world cup in 2022. Another experienced cricketer, Mohammad Nabi, recently served as team captain in another competition, and he has since been asked to re-join the national squad. The tall southpaw Sediqullah Atal may make his series start at some point. The graceful striker is well known for his graceful stroke play. Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmat Shah are two well-known figures who were cut from the squad.

Apart from the above-mentioned names, Zahir Khan and Nijat Masoud have also been retained in the reserve together with Nangyal Kharoti. These athletes took part in Afghanistan’s recently finished UAE trip. Rahmanullah Gurbaz will start the innings for Afghanistan, and the Zadran brothers will bat in the middle order. The lineup for Afghanistan’s batting will consist of all the usual suspects. Fazalhaq Farooqi will once more serve as the department leader for fast bowling. It will be a toss-up between Azmatullah Omarzai and Naveen ul-Haq to be his other fast bowling companion.

The Afghan team recorded a good 2-1 series victory over the UAE team after a disastrous 2022 T20 world cup campaign in which they failed to win a single game in the Super 12 stages. After the second game, the series was tied, but the Afghanistan team won the bilateral series thanks to a valiant effort from the complete team. Since taking on the role of team leader full-time, Rashid Khan’s first series victory. In the interim, the Mohammad Nabi-led squad had to suffer a few defeats to Australia and India.

Afghanistan Playing XI

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Wk), Sediqullah Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (C), Azmatullah Omarzai, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Pakistan  

On the other side, the Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed a 15-person team for this series. The Pakistan team will be led by Shadab Khan who was also in command of Islamabad United in the PSL or Pakistan Super League competition for the 2023 season. Many prominent Pakistani athletes, including Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman, will be absent from this trip. These players have been rested by the management to handle their workloads during the season.

The Pakistani team will consist of several young players as a consequence of these exclusions. These athletes were carefully chosen from the domestic scene. Some of these stars include top-order batsman Saim Ayub, the fast bowler Ihsanullah, and the hard-hitting batter Tayyab Tahir. Abdullah Shafique is another team member who stood out in the game’s red-ball version. He was added to the squad as a result of his outstanding PSL 2022 showing for the Lahore Qalandars. 

It will be up to hitters like Shan Masood, Iftikar, and Shadab Khan to lead the Pakistan middle order. Naseem Shah will serve as the department’s head of rapid bowling. Imad Wasim is another player who has been introduced to the group. Muhammad Nawaz is still a sideline player. With the T20 world cup, Pakistan had performed significantly better, finishing as runners-up. After losing to India to open the season, they recovered well to win their next three games, defeat New Zealand in the semifinals, and advance to the championship game.

Pakistan Playing XI

Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Haris (Wk), Shan Masood, Azam Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan (C), Imad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Ihsanullah, Zaman Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Afghanistan vs Pakistan Match Prediction

This game has the potential to be a last-ball thriller by all measures. Given that Pakistan seems to have a more aggressive fast-bowling lineup which is more suited for Sharjah, the likes of Rashid Khan and Mohammas Nabi can be crucial in Afghanistan fighting for a win. But thanks to their hitting order, we think Pakistan will defeat Afghanistan on Thursday in a thrilling match.
