Pakistan vs Afghanistan head to head T20 matches: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for PAK vs AFG Asia Cup 2022 match.

The 10th match of the ongoing 15th edition of the Asia Cup will be played between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Sharjah tonight. A primary reason why this match will be closely followed by fans across the world is because India have lost two consecutive Super 4 matches and are now dependent on the result of this match to qualify for the final to be played on Sunday.

Pakistan and Afghanistan, on the other hand, are at the second and fourth positions on the points table respectively. While Pakistan have won their only Super 4 match thus far, Afghanistan had ended up on the losing side of their first Super 4 match and now face a must-win encounter at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Having played a total of six limited-overs matches against each other in the last decade, Pakistan and Afghanistan will be facing each other for the third time in the shortest format. Hence, there aren’t many T20I records to be mentioned between these two teams.

The last Pakistan-Afghanistan T20I had been played during the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai. A 148-run target had been chased with an over to spare but only after Asif Ali hit four sixes off Karim Janat in the penultimate over.
