Afghanistan will face Pakistan in a three-match One-Day International series, starting on Tuesday, August 22. This will be the first ODI bilateral series against the two nations.
The two sides last met in the 2019 ODI World Cup, when Pakistan just managed to scramble over the line with a three-wicket win. Pakistan and Afghanistan has also met in the Asia Cup twice (2014 and 2018).
The series will serve as a opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the Asia Cup in Pakistan and Sri Lanka later this month and the ODI World Cup in India in October.
