Get set for an exhilarating showdown as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) squares off against Afghanistan (AFG) in the 1st T20I of Afghanistan's tour of UAE at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium. This riveting encounter marks the commencement of a three-match T20I series in the UAE, with Afghanistan slightly edging the head-to-head battles in T20Is between the two nations.

The United Arab Emirates recently clashed against Nepal in the World Cup Qualifiers, where they succumbed to an eight-wicket defeat. Posting a total of 134 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs, key contributions came from Asif Khan, who displayed his prowess with a spectacular knock of 151 runs, ably supported by Vriitya Aravind's 64 runs, and Waseem Muhammad's 26 runs. Nepal successfully chased down the target, scoring 135 runs in 17 overs for the loss of two wickets. Basil Hameed made a significant breakthrough by taking one wicket in the match.

On the other hand, Afghanistan's last T20I encounter against India in the Final of the Asian Games 2023 ended in abandonment due to rain. Despite the weather interruption, Afghanistan managed to put up a competitive total of 112 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 18 overs. Shahidullah showcased his brilliance with a valiant 97-run innings, while Gulbadin Naib contributed 27 runs, and Afzar Zazai scored 15 runs before the match was disrupted by rain.
