ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will lock horns with Afghanistan in the tri-nation series final set to take place in Sharjah today, Sunday, as the two sides look to gain momentum ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup tournament.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have fared well in the tournament, securing one win over each other in the two matches they have played together.

Pakistan beat Rashid Khan’s side by 39 runs in the first contest between the two sides on Aug. 29. Afghanistan bounced back in the second encounter against Pakistan on Sept. 2, beating the Green Shirts by 18 runs.

“The final of T20 Tri-Series will be played between Pakistan and Afghanistan at Sharjah on Sunday,” state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported.

Afghanistan head into the match today after securing a thrilling four-wicket win over the UAE earlier this week. Pakistan have also beaten the UAE twice in the tri-nation series.
