Afghanistan and Pakistan are set to play a 3-match T20 international series starting on the 24th of March. The series will be played at a neutral venue for both teams. Sharjah Cricket Ground will once again host a T20 match between these two teams. Here is Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report for PAK vs AFG T20 series.

The last time these two teams faced each other was in the 2022 Asia Cup Super 4 game. It was a nail-biting encounter at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium which ended in favor of Pakistan by 1 wicket. In the same match, Asif Ali and Fareed Ahmad engaged in a fight which made the situation even tenser.

Afghanistan has never played a T20 series against Pakistan and it will be only the 4th time when these two teams will collide.

AFG vs PAK T20I Series 2023 Schedule

1st T20I AFG vs PAK on 24th of March at 9:30 PM (IST)

2nd T20I AFG vs PAK on 26th of March at 9:30 PM (IST)

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report for PAK vs AFG T20

It is a high-scoring venue where bowlers get some of the biggest nightmares of their careers. The wicket out here is mostly flat and the fast bowlers barely have anything, especially in the first innings. Adding to this the short boundaries of the stadium make it even worse for the bowlers to bowl at this venue.

The pitch will be an absolute belter for the first couple of matches. It is a kind of wicket that gets sluggish over time and spinners enjoy bowling at this surface. The toss winners should opt to bat first on this wicket and post a big score on board.

Sharjah Weather Forecast during AFG vs PAK T20 series

There is pleasant and cloudy weather in Sharjah city these days. The temperature will fluctuate between 29°C to 26°C with a wind speed of around 18kmph.
