Introduction:
The third match of the UAE Tri-Nation Series 2025 will be played between Afghanistan and UAE on Monday, September 1 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium at 8 pm Pakistan time. Before this match, both teams had lost one match each to Pakistan. Afghanistan looks a strong team and is determined to win against the United Arab Emirates.
Pakistan won the first two matches of the tri-nation series and are at the first position of the points table. Because both teams have already lost one of their matches, this match is very important for both teams. Afghanistan looks to be a strong team as the UAE and Afghanistan have played 13 matches so far, out of which Afghanistan has won 10 and lost three.
UAE has shown good batting performance against Pakistan in the previous match but their bowling has not been good. Which led to UAE’s defeat against Pakistan. But if the UAE is to close the gap in the points table and win the match against Afghanistan, it will also have to strengthen its bowling. The UAE has the advantage of being a host team and playing on their home ground, so it will be easy for them to play.
Afghanistan’s bowling was good in the first match against Pakistan, but their batting lineup flopped, leading to their defeat. Afghanistan must win the match against UAE to return to the series, which they can only win by improving their batting.
