Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first.
The team that bowled first at the Sharjah ground was the first to win. As the pitch is favorable for bowling, the Afghanistan team batting first is considered unlikely to score big.
Pareet Ahmed Malik and Ajmadullah Omajari have been included in the Afghanistan squad.
