Who Will Lift the Trophy?
Pakistan and Afghanistan have played excellent cricket in the past few months, especially Afghanistan, who is emerging as one of the best teams in Asia. Both teams clashed twice in this series and the score is 1-1; however, Afghanistan looks quite dominant in this battle, and they might be looking forward to repeat the same in the Tri-Series Final 2025.
Strengths of the Pakistan National Cricket Team:
Pakistan comes into the final as they played good cricket in this tri-series. They are at the top position in the points table with 6 points as they have won three matches out of four in this T20I Tri-series 2025. Players Like Fakhar Zaman have consistently been scoring runs, whereas bowlers like Abrar Ahmed have bowled really well against the opposition.
After Pakistan didn’t add their key players like Babar Azam and Mohd. Rizwan in the squad, everyone was anticipating they might fail, but Salman Ali Agha led this new side quite well, and now they are in the final however, some players form is still a concern, especially the skipper’s himself.
Afghanistan’s Growing Confidence and Talent:
Afghanistan has surprised many with their fearless cricket in the past few years, and now, they are on the way of becoming Asia’s 2nd best team after the Indian National Cricket Team. Rashid Khan is leading the team from the front. He took 6 wickets in just 3 matches with a decent economy rate of 6.41.
Ibrahim Zadran and youngster Sediqullah Atal has done excpetional job with the bat, both the batters are leading the batting department of the team. However, The Middle-order of Afghanistan is still struggling to get onto the track and finish close matches.
Key Factors that can decide the Pakistan vs Afghanistan Match:
The Pitch at Sharjah usually helps spinners a lot, and it may potentially favour Afghanistan as they are a spin-heavy side. Spinners like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Noor Khan will play a key role in the tri-series final match.
But, Pakistan also has decent spin-attack, Abrar Ahmed, and Skipper Salman Ali Agha can be a good duo who might be useful in the middle-overs.
