The three-match series is currently levelled at 1-1 after the first two matches. Afghanistan began in a dominant manner by winning the first match by 72 runs. However, UAE came back with a surprise by winning the second match by 11 runs. It was an under-par performance from Afghanistan’s bowlers and batters to lose the game. Now, both teams will look to play their best cricket to get their hands on the winners’ trophy.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The batters will enjoy their time in the middle as the wicket is flat and it has nothing in it for the fast bowlers. However, the surface is likely to get slow as the match progresses. Hence, the spinners might come into play during the second innings. Furthermore, the team winning the toss might opt to bat first.
Last result at the venue
