Asia Cup 2022: Pak vs Afg Super 4 match Pitch Report
The Sharjah wicket has surprised the most to everyone. In the beginning, it was very sluggish and spinners were getting out of hand against every opposition. Now the wicket has changed a lot and it has become high scoring pitch. We can expect the toss winner to bowl first and try to restrict the opposition below 170-180. Anything below 170 in Sharjah is easily chasable.
Weather of Sharjah
The whole UAE is hot and humid these days and we can expect another humid night in Sharjah. The wind will be blowing at the pace of 16kmph but the situation of a sand storm is unlikely. The temperature will be 35°C.
Head to Head stats of Pakistan and Afghanistan in Asia Cup

The battle to watch out
Rashid Khan has dominated the world’s no.1 batsman Babar Azam when it comes to T20. Babar has faced Rashid on 5 occasions and Rashid has managed to dismiss him on all 5 occasions. The Pakistani captain has a strike rate of 122.91 and an average of 11.80 against the spin wizard Rashid Khan. It will be interesting to see how Babar will play up against the quality of Rashid.
