The fact that they defeated Team India by 10 wickets goes to show their credibility. They continued their good run by beating the Kiwis in Sharjah. Pakistan will lock horns with Afghanistan on October 29, 2021, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Afghanistan cricket team opened their account with a memorable win over Scotland. The Afghans beat Scotland by 130 runs and registered their biggest win in T20Is.
