So far, Afghanistan and Pakistan have faced each other four t🔴imes in the 50-overs format and on every occasion, the Green Team emerged victorious.
Afghanistan vs Pakistan 2023, first ODI:
- Date and Time: August 22; 03:00 pm local | 09:30 am GMT | 03:00 pm IST
- Venue: Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota
Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium Pitch Report:
The Mahinda Rajapaksa Internatio✤nal Stadium situated in Hambantota has proven to be equitable for both baters and bowlers. Yet, spinners hold a favourable position on this surface due to its inherent characteristics. As the match unfolds, accumulating runs on this pitch becomes progressively arduous, making the toss-winning team likely to opt for bowling first. Worth highlighting is the fact that out of the 26 matches held here, 13 have been claim🧸ed by teams choosing to field first.
