UAE vs AFG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 3rd T20I

UAE vs AFG Match Preview

This exciting match is the second in a thrilling three-match T20I series held in the UAE. Afghanistan currently leads the series 1-0 after a commanding 72-run victory in the first T20I. The United Arab Emirates won the toss and chose to bat first. Afghanistan’s early loss of Hazratullah Zazai was a promising start for Aayan Khan’s UAE. However, the monumental 137-run partnership between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran set the tone. Before being dismissed by Junaid Siddique, Gurbaz’s quick century off 52 balls left a lasting impression. In response, the UAE’s openers, Muhammad Waseem and Khalid Shah, struggled and were dismissed early, thanks to Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi, respectively. Despite the efforts of Samal Udawaththa, who was defeated by Farooqi, and a 33-run partnership between Basil Hameed and Vriitya Aravind, UAE faced a difficult battle.
