Sharjah Set for High-Intensity T20 Clash as Afghanistan Take on Pakistan
Cricket fans are in for a thrilling start to the UAE T20I Tri-Series tonight as Afghanistan and Pakistan go head-to-head in the opening match at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The game is scheduled to begin under the lights at 8:00 PM local time.
This tri-nation tournament, featuring Afghanistan, Pakistan, and hosts UAE, is a crucial warm-up platform ahead of major ICC competitions later this year. Both teams will be eager to make an early statement.

With no points on the board yet, tonight’s clash offers a chance for either side to seize control of the standings right from the outset. The Sharjah venue—renowned for producing tight finishes and spin-friendly conditions—adds another layer of intrigue to a contest already brimming with regional rivalry.
Expect a packed stadium, electric atmosphere, and two sides looking to strike first blood in what could set the tone for the entire series.
