UAE is hosting Afghanistan for a three-match T20I series at home. Beating Afghanistan in T20Is is a tough ask for them given that the Afghans are a good side that can beat even much bigger teams in international cricket. UAE were hammered by Afghanistan in the first match as the visitors won the game by 5 wickets.
Having restricted UAE to a mere 142-5, Afghanistan chased the target with five wickets to spare, courtesy of a 48 by Hazratullah Zazai and 53 by Karim Janat.
The surface will be sluggish and spinners will enjoy the lack of pace. There will not be much movement on offer for the pacers but it will not be very easy to score as well.
The temperature will be 22 degrees with bright skies. No threat of rain means that a game without interruption.

Came into bat when Afghanistan were reduced to 48-3, Hazratullah Zazai not only absorbed pressure but also played a crisp inning of 48 to take Afghanistan home. He is a great pick for a team.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz missed out in the first match but given his form in this format of the game, Gurbaz is very likely to explode in the second game.
CP Rizwan scored 48 runs against a good Afghan attack, showing the skills he has. He can be a good pick from the UAE team.
Zahoor Khan is the bowler to watch out for in the match. He has achieved great success in a very small career by playing in tournaments like BBL, ensuring a bright future.
Rashid Khan needs to introduction. He has been one of the finest spinners of his generation and will be eyeing a good show in the 2nd T20I.
