In the fourth match of the tri-nation series at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first. Afghanistan aims to challenge the Green Shirts, especially after their comfortable 39-run victory over the United Arab Emirates at the same venue on Monday. Meanwhile, Pakistan remains undefeated in the series, having won both of their previous matches against Afghanistan and the UAE.
In a key early moment, Saim Ayub dismissed the dangerous Afghan opener, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored 8 runs from 10 balls.
