The UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025 continues with an exciting clash as Pakistan face Afghanistan in the 4th match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Both sides enter the contest with contrasting forms but equal motivation to secure a vital win.
Pakistan have been clinical so far, winning both of their previous games to sit comfortably at the top of the table. Their batting depth and variety in bowling have stood out, making them the team to beat in this series. A win here will not only strengthen their dominance but also push them closer to securing a place in the final.
Afghanistan started their campaign with a defeat to Pakistan but bounced back impressively by beating the UAE in their second outing. Their spinners remain a major threat on Sharjah’s slower surface, and the batting unit showed much-needed resilience in the last game. They’ll be eager to even the score against Pakistan this time around.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Sharjah Cricket Stadium usually doesn’t favour big scores, as it tends to play on the slower side. This makes shot-making tricky for batters while giving an edge to spinners and bowlers who use variations. Winning the toss often plays a key role, with many captains choosing to bat first and set up a solid total. However, in day-night matches, the presence of dew can make chasing a preferable strategy.
