PAK vs AFG Asia Cup 2022: Match Preview  

Yesterday was a terrific start for Pakistan in their super 4 campaign for the Asia Cup 2022. They won their first game, which was against their most bitter rivals, India, and collected two points on the board. On Wednesday, Pakistan will have the opportunity to get closer to the final of the Asia Cup when they square off against another neighboring team, Afghanistan.

As far as Afghanistan is concerned, they were appearing to be a very strong unit in the group round of the Asia Cup 2022, where they absolutely cruised past Sri Lanka and Bangladesh without breaking a sweat. However, careless bowling in their first super 4 games against Sri Lanka has now placed them in a situation in which they must win or lose in order to continue competing.

In the event that Pakistan loses on Wednesday, they will still be in the competition because they have already won one of the super 4 matches, but if Afghanistan loses, it is possible that they will be eliminated from the Asia Cup that is currently being played.

PAK vs AFG: Weather Forecast

It is anticipated that there will not be any clouds in the sky during this really crucial cricket match between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and there is only a very remote possibility that it may rain. We expect a late breeze that will play to the advantage of the quick bowlers during the second half of the match due to the fact that the play will commence at half past in the evening Indian time.

The fast bowlers will benefit from this in a positive way. There is a possibility that the high temperature will reach 39 degrees Celsius, but there is a far better likelihood that the humidity will be lower than 40 percent. The temperature may reach 38 degrees Celsius.

PAK vs AFG: Pitch Report

The ground in Dubai for the second game between India and Pakistan was not as fiery as the one for the first game. The amount of grass was reduced, and the angle of the bounce was mellowed out. It was a leisurely-paced course, and the fact that it got even better toward the end of the game as a result of some light dew contributed to the fact that the game ended up being a high-scoring one.

Both Pakistan and Afghanistan have some big hitters on their squads, and the pitch in Dubai is more suitable for stroke play than the one in Sharjah. As a result, we could see some high scoring in the match between Pakistan and Afghanistan as well.

PAK vs AFG: Match Prediction

The middle-order batting squad for Afghanistan has been playing remarkably well, with players who are bold and able to take on bowlers from any position in the lineup. They will be expecting spinners to play a key role in this match since they have had a lot of experience with bowling thus far. Although the Afghan batters have proven to be dependable, they do not possess the same level of firepower as their Pakistani counterparts.

They have a strong bowling squad, with pacers who can consistently clock at more than 140 and spinners who can easily outpace the opposition. On the other hand, Afghanistan is the team to beat in this match due to the experience of its players as well as the team’s strong performance in its most recent matches.

Following Afghanistan’s triumph against Sri Lanka in the game that counted toward the group league, Afghanistan would have reason to feel proud of itself. The team to watch out for is Hong Kong, even though Pakistan will be looking to exact retribution for their defeat and continue their winning streak after smashing Hong Kong earlier in the tournament.

On their day, Afghanistan’s Twenty20 International team is competitive and capable of defeating any team in the world. However, on paper, Pakistan’s team appears to be marginally more powerful and better-rounded than Afghanistan’s. According to the most recent analysis, Pakistan will prevail over Afghanistan in this match.
