The series is a great opportunity for Pakistan to find the best combination for the Asia Cup and World Cup. While most of the regulars found a place in the Pakistan squad for the series, Emerging Asia Cup star Tayyab Tahir is a surprise selection.

Winning Chances:
Pakistan will start as favourites for us. Pakistan are playing a full-strength squad and will back themselves to win. However, Afghans cannot be taken lightly. The team has a strong spin attack and they are very capable to restrict Pakistan to a low score. However, Afghanistan’s batting looks a concern and it will be tough for them to score big runs against a quality Pakistan attack. For us, Pakistan are favourites to win.
AFG vs PAK Key Players:
Afghanistan
Rashid Khan
10 overs of Rashid Khan will be vital for Afghanistan. If Rashid has a good game, Pakistan will find themselves in big trouble. Not only Rashid is dangerous with the ball, he can add a few handy runs with the bat too.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz
Gurbaz will be key for Afghanistan with the bat. The batter has been going through a lean run in T20s but ODI is a different format and he will look to find form. In the last series against Bangladesh, Gurbaz was Afghanistan’s leading run scorer with 173 runs.
Mujeen Ur Rahman
Afghanistan rely a lot on their spin attack and the conditions in Sri Lanka are not easy to bat. Mujeeb and Rashid in the middle overs will decide the fate of the game.
Pakistan
Babar Azam
Babar Azam will be key for Pakistan. Not much need to be said about the captain as he is arguably the best ODI player right now. Babar recently played in Lanka Premier League and went on to score over 200 runs, including a century.
Fakhar Zaman
Fakhar Zaman is also a vital player in the Pakistan team. Zaman was in great form against New Zealand and scored 363 runs in the five-match series at an average of 90. It will be interesting to see if Zaman can show consistency.
Shaheen Afridi
Afridi will be the lead pacer for Pakistan. Afridi recently played in Hundred and bowled some sensational spells. He will be key for Pakistan with the new ball.
