Afghanistan and Pakistan will lock horns in the 13th warm-up game of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday, October 19, at The Gabba in Brisbane.
Afghanistan, led by Mohammad Nabi, will be high on confidence after beating Shakib Al Hasan's Bangladesh in their first warm-up match on Oct. 17. Ibrahim Zadran top-scored for them, while Nabi's cameo helped the Afghans post a competitive total.
Fazalhaq Farooqi picked up three wickets as Bangladesh failed to even cross 100 in their innings. Before the Super 12 stages, a victory over Babar Azam's Pakistan would do Afghanistan's confidence a world of good.
Pakistan, meanwhile, enter the T20 World Cup after losing 3-4 to Moeen Ali's England in a seven-match T20I series, which took place in Karachi and Lahore. In their first warm-up match against England, Pakistan lost once again by six wickets.
Pakistan posted 160 on the board and the Three Lions chased the target down with as many as 32 balls to spare.
Beating Afghanistan isn't expected to a cakewalk for the Men in Green, who recently won a T20I tri-series in New Zealand.
