AFG take on QAT in a three-match T20I series
Qatar will play a first-ever bilateral series against a full-Test playing country
AFG will be led by Rashid Khan
Afghanistan and Qatar will face each other in a significant three-match T20I series from November 8 in Qatar. It is a landmark feat as it marks Qatar’s first bilateral series against a full-test playing nation.
In recent years, Afghanistan have been one of the most improved international sides who rose to prominence with their inspirational performance in ICC events especially in the T20 format. On the other hand, Qatar are one of the budding associated nations that are yet to make their mark in international cricket, and this series provides them with one of the opportunities to do so.
There is a significant gulf between both the nations when it comes to ICC events and player to player match-ups. However, given the dynamic nature of the T20 format and the advantage of playing at their home conditions, Qatar have something to hold on to against their strong Afghan counterparts.
Qatar are currently ranked at 29 in the ICC T20I standings with 113 points whereas Afghanistan are among the top 10 T20I teams. Afghanistan are a strong T20 team and can beat any team on their given day, which is why this series could prove to be a significant learning curve for Qatar and could propel their international T20 journey at the world stage.
