Afghanistan and Pakistan will face off in the 13th T20 World Cup warm-up game on Wednesday, October 19, at The Gabba in Brisbane.

There is a chance of rain between 2 and 3 p.m. local time, which could cause a brief disruption. Throughout the game, clouds will hover above the stadium. Temperatures about 22 degrees celsius will make for pleasant playing conditions.

Afghanistan, captained by Mohammad Nabi, will be confident after defeating Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan in their first warm-up match on October 17. Ibrahim Zadran led them in scoring, and Nabi's cameo enabled the Afghans to produce a competitive total.

England defeated Pakistan by six wickets in their first warm-up match.

Pakistan scored 160, and the Three Lions chased it down with 32 balls to spare.

The pitch at the Gabba has been relatively favorable for batting, but bowlers have also performed admirably. Because rain is expected, teams should field first to understand the DLS Method better.
