Mohammad Rizwan in great formThe Boys in Green will be full of confidence after defeating India in the first round-robin encounter. Afghanistan, on the other hand, will try to rebound from its narrow defeat to Sri Lanka.
Pakistan
The team is playing some excellent cricket throughout the event. After losing to India in the group stage, they bounced back against Hong Kong, dismissing them for 38 runs.
When the opportunity arose, they avenged their Super 4 defeat to India by winning the vital portions of the game.
Mohammad Rizwan's affair with India continues with another match-winning strike. Pakistan captain Babar Azam was keen to point out that the partnership was the game's turning point.
"The partnership of Rizwan and Nawaz was a pivotal event." "I had a feeling Nawaz would be important against legspinners (regarding his promotion)," Babar explained after leading his team to victory.
If they play with the same passion and energy against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, they are predicted to win the contest.

Afghanistan
Afghanistan's first Super 4 game was a close one versus Sri Lanka. They had earlier defeated Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the group stages, but they were unable to maintain their composure in the Super 4 game.
They will now face Pakistan, a side that may be unpredictable on any given day. If the Afghans are to beat this Pakistan side with several matchwinners, they will need to be at their best in every discipline.
A loss to Pakistan will effectively eliminate their chances of reaching the tournament's finals.
