Around nine o’clock Pakistan Standard Time, the game will begin. On Sunday, the second T-20 game will be played, and on Monday, the third.
The series trophy was unveiled at a ceremony that took place at the stadium the day before. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, and Rashid Khan, the captain of Afghanistan, were seen posing with the trophy in a post shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The cricket team from Pakistan arrived in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday evening to begin a three-match series.
Ahead of time, the PCB and Afghanistan Cricket Board decided to slightly alter the schedule for Afghanistan’s three-match T20I home series against Pakistan.
