The match will interest Team India fans as well since an Afghanistan win tonight will keep India's hopes of making it to the finals alive. However, if Pakistan win, they will seal their place in the final against Sri Lanka on Sunday (September 11).

Both teams head into the game on the back of contrasting results in their respective previous fixtures. While Afghanistan lost against a resurgent Sri Lankan unit, Pakistan took their revenge against India and defeated the Men in Blue in a thrilling clash.

On that note, let's take a look at the top three player battles to watch out for from what could be an exciting affair between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
#1 Mohammad Rizwan vs Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Pakistan v India - DP World Asia Cup As Pakistan sweat over Mohammad Rizwan's fitness after he jarred his knee against India, there isn't a single doubt over his batting form.

The Pakistani wicket-keeper has batted wonderfully in the ongoing tournament, amassing 192 runs at an average of 96 in three games. Pakistan needed a technically sound anchor player who would begin slowly before accelerating since skipper Babar Azam hasn't found his touch in the tournament so far.

If the Pakistani opener is the leading run-scorer in the Asia Cup so far, Mujeeb has picked up ten wickets in three games - the joint-highest among any bowler in the tournament. Mujeeb’s ability to spin the ball both ways makes him a dangerous bowler. With the pitch in Sharjah likely to be two-paced with the occasional low bounce, Rizwan will ave to be careful against Mujeeb.

The 29-year old can smash sixes at will and is a handy player against both pace and spin. Zadran is Afghanistan's highest run-getter in T20Is this year, having scored 317 runs in 12 innings at a great strike rate of almost 154.

The left-hander will want to repeat his heroics from the game against Bangladesh, where he clobbered six sixes and guided Afghanistan home. Pakistan will try to shorten Zadran's stay by attacking him with Shadab Khan, who is yet to be hit for a six in Asia Cup.

However, in a head-to-head battle, Zadran has had the upper hand over Shadab. The Afghan has struck at a rate of 160 against the leg-spinner and will look to stamp his authority on him once more.

Despite not having runs under his belt, the right-hander hasn't looked out of sorts and can deliver his best anytime. Babar's faceoff with leg-spinner Rashid Khan could be pivotal should Babar bat deep.

While the talented Pakistani skipper will look to make amends for his poor run, Afghanistan will want to see his back as soon as possible. Afghanistan Cricket Board@ACBofficials.@rashidkhan_19 ?? @babarazam258
Looking forward to another mouth-watering matchup!
?#AfghanAtalan #AsiaCup2022 #AFGvPAK https://t.co/0WpF6PQQiq One Afghan bowler who has found success against Babar from time to time is the Rashid. Interestingly, every time the two stalwarts have come across each other in T20s, Rashid has managed to outfox Babar on each occasion. In five T20s, the leg-break bowler has dismissed Babar five times while giving away 59 runs from 48 deliveries.
