Afghanistan and Pakistan have only met once in T20I cricket. That was in 2013, when Pakistan won by a tight margin. The Afghanistan team have improved a lot since.
Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium
When: Friday, 29 October 2021
Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)
Pitch conditions: Dubai is the better venue for batting among the four grounds used for this tournament. The side batting second often wins. A first-innings score of 180 should be competitive.
Weather conditions: There is a small chance of rain on Friday, but it probably won’t be enough to limit play, if at all. Otherwise, hot and dry conditions are expected.

Afghanistan v Pakistan – Betting Tips and Predictions
These extra cricket betting tips could help you make stronger decisions. Look through the best odds on offer.
Make Mujeeb Your Top Afghanistan Bowler
Mujeeb Ur Rahman took a five-wicket haul against Scotland recently. He can build on that momentum, but will face a greater challenge against Pakistan.
Ur Rahman isn’t really the so-called mystery spinner he used to be, but still possesses plenty of skills to succeed against even the best batsmen.
Bet on Mujeeb to be the top Afghanistan bowler in this match at 3.7 with bet365. Rashid Khan is also available in the same market with the same site.
Bet on This Accumulator with Afridi and Khan
1xBet accumulator outcomes are among the best in the business. They really keep their customers entertained and interested with these.
Shaheen Afridi and Rashid Khan are priced at 12.0 by 1xBet to take at least three wicket each. They’ve each done this once already this tournament.
It’s a good bet and at such long odds could bring immense value. It’s not too much for one of the best left-arm seamers and leg-spinners to do this.
Select Azam as Top Pakistan Batsman
Babar Azam is right up there with the top T20I batsmen in the world and is forming a great partnership with Mohammad Rizwan at the top of the Pakistan order.
Azam succeeded with a half-century against India, but didn’t do as well against New Zealand. His side won both matches.
Bet on Azam as the top Pakistan batsman in this match at 2.9 with Parimatch, who have other solid top batsman and top bowler options available as well.
