Summary
A resurgent Afghanistan take on hosts United Arab Emirates in match 6 of the UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025 at Sharjah on Friday. Watch the AFG vs UAE cricket match live today.
Both teams enter this final league stage match under contrasting circumstances. Afghanistan have already qualified for the final, to be played against Pakistan on Sunday at the same venue, while the UAE are playing for pride after losing all their matches so far.
After losing to Pakistan in the opener, the Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan pulled off consecutive wins over the UAE and Pakistan. Their 18-run win over Pakistan proved decisive. The usual suspects, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Noor Ahmad, Sediqullah Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, have all fared well so far.
The minnows UAE, on the other hand, have struggled to convert individual performances into team success. Captain Muhammad Waseem and wicketkeeper Rahul Chopra have shown promise with the bat, but the team still lack that bite to stun higher-ranked rivals.
