UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025: 4th T20I, PAK vs AFG Match Prediction

Pakistan will take on Afghanistan in the fourth match of the UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025 on Tuesday, September 2, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Pakistan have enjoyed a strong start to the tournament, winning their first two matches comfortably to secure the top spot in the points table. Having already beaten Afghanistan by 39 runs in the series opener, Pakistan will look to replicate that performance and confirm their place in the final.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, have had a tougher campaign. After losing their opening game, they face the tight task of playing two matches in the space of 24 hours. To stay alive in the competition, they will need to win both fixtures and give themselves a better chance of reaching the final.

Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: Saim Ayub

The left-handed batter Saim Ayub could prove to be a key figure in this clash. The youngster has scored 89 runs in two innings so far. His ability to score freely in the middle overs makes him a vital asset, as he can accelerate the innings with ease and shift the momentum in Pakistan’s favour.

Probable Best Bowler: Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf made an instant impact in the one match he has played so far, picking up four wickets. His raw pace and wicket-taking ability make him a genuine game-changer for Pakistan. A decisive spell from Rauf could tilt the contest in his team’s favour and play a key role in securing another victory.
