UAE vs Afghanistan, 3rd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

UAE and Afghanistan are set to face each other in the third and final game of their three-match series on Sunday, February 19. The Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi will host the contest.

Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, started the series on a clinical note by beating the UAE by five wickets in the opening game of the series. The Afghans came into the series as favorites and started in that vein.

However, CP Rizwan’s UAE had other ideas as they drew level with a thumping nine-wicket win on Saturday, February 18. After opting to bat first, Afghanistan struggled their way to 137 for the loss of six wickets.

Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 27 and 15 respectively, but their efforts went in vain. Najibullah Zadran stayed unbeaten on 37 runs off 29 balls with five fours and one six. Rashid Khan also played a handy cameo.

The run-chase turned out to be a one-sided affair. The UAE chased down the target with 10 balls to spare. Muhammad Waseem scored 91 runs off 50 balls with eight fours and seven sixes to be named the Player of the Match.
