Afghanistan vs Pakistan 2023, 1st ODI Dream 11 Prediction

Afghanistan will take on Pakistan in the first of the three-match ODI series on Tuesday. It is a home series for Afghanistan, who cannot host an international event in their own country due to security threats.

So far, Afghanistan and Pakistan have faced each other four times 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 International 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 claimed by teams choosing to field first.
