Afghanistan (AFG) is all set to host Pakistan (PAK) in the inaugural T20I bilateral series, later this month. The historic series comprises three T20 internationals to be played between the two neighbouring countries. The two teams have so far squared-off in multi-nation and ICC events mostly. Outside multi-nation tournaments, a solitary ODI match in 2012 and a sole T20I in 2013, are the only engagements between the two sides recorded. Hence, the upcoming White-ball series between Afghanistan and Pakistan will be the first of its kind.
