Pakistan vs Afghanistan ODI Series Overview
Afghanistan is going to face Pakistan right before the start of the Asia Cup and ICC Men’s ODI World Cup in a series of three ODI matches in the conditions of Sri Lanka. This series is very important for both teams before two big events. We know that some matches of the Asia Cup are going to be held in Sri Lanka and this is a big opportunity for both teams to get the best possible playing eleven for the next events.

Afghanistan Reviews
Afghanistan recently played an ODI series in Sri Lanka against the home side where they were not much impressive and lost three out of five matches and then they traveled to Bangladesh where they won the ODI series against Bangladesh with 2-1. Afghanistan had added some new players to the squad for this series and also for Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. Hashmatullah Shahidi is the new captain of Afghanistan for this series who will be leading the batting order of this team with Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hassan, and Najibullah Zadran. Afghanistan is overall a well-balanced team for this series.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the wicket-keeper batsman in the squad of Afghanistan with Ikram Alikhil while Rahmat Shah is the only batting all-rounder of this team. The main strength of Afghanistan is its bowling unit. They had produced some best bowlers who had represented Afghanistan at the international level and in different big leagues of the world. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi are two well-known bowlers from Afghanistan who had played a lot of cricket in Sri Lanka and around the world. The role of these bowlers in very important in this series.
Azmatullah Omarzai is another bowling all-rounder but we don’t think that he will get a lot of chances in this series. Noor Ahmad will be leading the bowling unit of Afghanistan with Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi,
Abdul Rahman, Mohammad Saleem Safi, and Wafadar Momand.
Pakistan Reviews
Pakistan is a strong and well-balanced team when it comes to white-ball cricket. Most players in the squad of Pakistan team had been in Sri Lanka since the previous month and they know the conditions of Sri Lanka very well. Pakistan had also added some new players to the squad for this series. Babar Azam is the regular captain of Pakistan and he will be leading the side in this series and also in Asia Cup and ICC Men’s ODI World Cup. Pakistan’s team is well-balanced with some best and most experienced batsmen and bowlers. This is a big opportunity for Pakistan to get the best players for two big events like Asia Cup and ICC Men’s ODI World Cup.
Babar Azam will be handling the batting order of Pakistan with Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, and Tayyab Tahir. Tayyab Tahir is the new addition in the Pakistan team but we are expecting that he will not get more chances to get a place in the playing eleven. Mohammad Haris and Mohammad Rizwan are wicket-keepers in the Pakistan team. Mohammad Haris is a hard hitter and his strike rate is good in the previous matches. Mohammad Rizwan is in superb form these days and we are sure that he will continue his good form in this series. Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Saud Shakeel are batting all-rounders of Pakistan. The bowling unit of Pakistan is also strong and experienced. Shah Afridi will be leading the bowling unit of Pakistan with Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Usama Mir. Some best bowling all-rounders like Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, and Mohammad Wasim Jr are also part of the bowling squad of Pakistan.
