The 24th Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play Afghanistan vs Pakistan on Friday, 29th October 2021 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Afghanistan outclassed Scotland in their first match in almost each and every department of the game. They put a huge total of 190 runs on the board in their inning of 20 overs while batting first. Almost all batsmen from their side put some runs on the board. Najibullah Zadran was the highest run-scorer from their side who scored 59 runs on just 34 deliveries with the help of five boundaries and three huge sixes. Hazratullah Zazai was the other batsman who put some runs on the board.

Two wins in two matches had made things easier for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals of this edition of the ICC T20 World Cup. Many of us are taking this match as an easy contest but it is not going to be very easy. Pakistan has to give its best to beat its neighbors as they are strong in each and every department of the game. The batting order of Pakistan failed to perform as many of us were expecting. They made an easy target very difficult to chase. The bowling unit of Pakistan give the best performance and leaked just 134 runs in their inning of 20 overs against the strong batting order of New Zealand.

Afghanistan had played just one match against Pakistan which was won by Pakistan.

There is no doubt that Pakistan is overall a strong team as compared to Afghanistan at least on papers. According to our today prediction, Pakistan is the favorite team that will win this match. There are many factors that make Pakistan a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• Pakistan had won their both played matches so far
• Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam are in good form for Pakistan

Pakistan is full of experienced and young players of the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for Pakistan have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team that will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 24th Match of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
