ALL 2026: Match 4, AFGP vs ANS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Afghanistan Pathans vs Asian stars?

Afghanistan Pathans will take on Asian Stars in Match No. 4 of the Asian Legends League 2026 at the Lotus Sports Club Ground, Lusaka, on Saturday, August 1.

Afghanistan Pathans will be eager to bounce back after beginning their campaign with a 15-run defeat against Sri Lankan Lions. Despite showing glimpses of promise, they failed to chase down a target of 154 and will now look to open their account in the tournament. Experienced campaigners like Asghar Afghan, Shabir Noori, and Khalid Kail will have to shoulder the responsibility with the bat.

For Asian Stars, the experienced Tillakaratne Dilshan will once again be expected to lead from the front, while players such as Chundangapoyil Rizwan, Dilshan Munaweera, and captain Mehran Khan add plenty of stability to the side.
