The Asian neighbors are all set to lock horns against each other in a 3-match ODI series on Sri Lankan soil. Afghanistan and Pakistan will use this series as a great opportunity to assess the condition of Sri Lanka where the Asia Cup 2023 will take place in just a few weeks. Here is Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium Hambantota Pitch Report and more.

The two teams are playing the ODI series against each other for the first time ever as they have faced each other in the Multi nations tournament only.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have faced each other on only 4 occasions in ODIs, the men in green have managed to win all 4 of them. However, the Afghan boys can turn things around this time as they are in form after defeating Bangladesh 2-1 in their home recently.

AFG vs PAK 2023 ODI series Schedule 

1st ODI on 22nd August at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota

2nd ODI on 24th August at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota

3rd ODI on 26th August at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo

Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium Hambantota Pitch Report 

It is a venue that offers equal assistance to both batters and bowlers as well. However, the pitch gets a bit sluggish as the game progresses which results in spinners dominating the game in the middle overs. Batters will have a great time with the new ball against the fast bowlers as there is a minimal amount of swing and lateral movement on offer.

Moreover, the seamers can actually change their pace and move their fingers around the seam to extract the maximum amount of benefit from this surface.

The toss winner should opt to bowl first as the wicket is very helpful in the daylight in comparison to under-lights.

Hambantota Weather Forecast 

There will be a partly cloudy atmosphere in Hambantota for the 1st ODI on Tuesday. However, there will be no interruption caused by the clouds as there is a 0% chance of precipitation. The temperature will be slightly hot and humid with a wind speed of 32kmph.
