Well Pakistan is an unpredictable team and they cant be in a trough for too long. They brushed aside recent form to defeat Afghanistan by 39 runs in the first match of the trination series 2025. Although Rashid Khan, mohammad Nabi and mujeeb ur Rahman were unplayable at times Pakistani batsmen targeted the Afghan pacemen namely Farooqi, Fareed and Omarzai. This strategy worked as Pakistan piled up a decent total of 182 runs against them.
Afghanistan batting as compared to their bowling is weak with only Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rashid Khan with ability to strike the ball hard rest of the batting is pretty ordinary in terms of strike rate. So if Pakistan can overcome Afghanistan's bowling they are always favourites to win. Pakistani selectors are right to drop Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan as both bat too slowly in Twenty20 cricket.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan and Afghanistan should play the final of this tournament.
