AFG vs PAK 1st T20I Match Details:

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The batters have always benefited from the ground's dimensions. As the game goes on, it is anticipated that batting will improve. Spinners may be used in the middle overs, though, as the pitch has been double-paced on multiple occasions.

Weather Forecast:

Turn is anticipated from both ends of the slow, low, spin-friendly surface at Sharjah. As the ball ages, batting becomes more difficult, and totals above 150 could win a game. Early on, pacers might receive some assistance, but spin will win out. With temperatures hovering around 34°C and minimal prospect of precipitation, the weather is predicted to remain hot and dry.
