Pakistan is favourite in the entire series, not only in this match. The odds is more than 2.20× for Afghanistan to win, where it is around 1.60× for Pakistan now. Still, I'm expecting that Afghanistan will win the match today. And Pakistan and Afghanistan will be the finalists of this Tri-Series. There will be no chance for Afghanistan to win the trophy of this series if they also lose the match today by a big margin.
Although Pakistan is the favorite, but afghanistan is not a weak team in the T 20 format. Pakistan is a strong team. But their performance is very erratic. It is difficult to predict which match the team will play well in.
In the first match, we saw improvement in both Pakistan's batting and bowling. They played very well against Afghanistan. They won by 39 runs. We also saw Pakistan's victory against UAE. Pakistan defeated UAE by 31 runs.
Afghanistan will want to win today's match. But the team is batting very slowly. Afghanistan lost the wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the second over. They could collect only 34 runs in 6 overs of the power play. `
