AFG VS PAK Prediction – Who Will Win?
Whenever these two teams have faced each other in T20Is, the game has gone down to the wire. Both teams have a good bowling attack. Pakistan rely on their pace attack, while Afghanistan have a brilliant spin attack. That will make this game a great one to watch.
