The forthcoming bilateral series holds significant value for both participating teams as they prepare for the impending Asia Cup and the prestigious ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023. Scheduled to commence on August 30, the Asia Cup will be followed by the commencement of the World Cup on October 5.
The series between Afghanistan and Pakistan, comprising three One Day Internationals (ODIs), is strategically set to take place at venues in Hambantota and Colombo, situated in Sri Lanka. Beyond the competitive aspect of the matches, the series is designed to simulate playing conditions akin to those anticipated in numerous venues of the forthcoming Asia Cup and World Cup tournaments.
This thoughtful alignment with the expected conditions aims to provide both teams with a valuable opportunity to acclimatize and fine-tune their strategies before the imminent high-stakes tournaments.
