Just over a week ago to go from Asia Cup, Afghanistan and Pakistan take on each other in an ODI series. The two teams met each other in the Super Four stage in last year's 20-over Asia Cup, where Babar Azam's men prevailed by the skin of the teeth in a one-wicket win. The two would fancy their chances in the upcoming tournament too for which they are yet again pitted in different groups.
But first things first, a three-match ODI series will be important for that tournament. The two teams are facing each other in Sri Lanka, which is the joint venue for Asia Cup. Pakistan have added Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf and Saud Shakeel for the series, while Noor Ahmed makes a comeback for Afghanistan. It was Afghanistan, who produced a surprise when they defeated Pakistan in the last series they faced against each other. Rashid Khan's team won a three-match T20I series by a margin of 2-1 against a Pakistan side that was missing several key players.
The Afghans are also red-hot, coming on the back of a 2-1 ODI series win over Bangladesh at the latter's home. On the other hand, Pakistan also registered a dominant 4-1 win at home against New Zealand in their last ODI series. Here are all the live-streaming details of the match.
