Pakistan is all set to host their first-ever T20I tri-series, against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan at home. The triangular series will run between 17-29 November and will serve as a stepping point for the three sides ahead of next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
The first game of the tri-series will begin on 17 November with Pakistan taking on Afghanistan at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. While Afghanistan have featured in five ODIs in the country, this will be their first-ever T20I in Pakistan.
On 19 November, Sri Lanka will take on Afghanistan in Rawalpindi. Meanwhile, the remaining fixtures of the series including the finals will be played in Lahore.
