Afghanistan Vs UAE Live Score, T20I Tri-series, Match 6: The Tri-Series in the UAE heads into its final league clash as Afghanistan take on the hosts at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Afghanistan already hold the upper hand after beating UAE earlier in the tournament. For the Emirates, this is about pride and fine-tuning before the Asia Cup, having lost to Pakistan just yesterday. Their batting has often stumbled after strong starts from skipper Muhammad Waseem. Bowling has been solid up front but has faltered at the death with predictable lengths. Afghanistan’s spinners, led by Rashid Khan, have thrived on Sharjah’s slow surface. With chasing proving tricky all series, all eyes are on whether UAE can flip the script today.

At the end of the powerplay Afghanistan are off to a cautious yet solid start with 40 runs on the board and no wickets lost.
