AFG vs PAK LIVE: The 3-match ODI series between Afghanistan and Pakistan is reaching its conclusion with the third and final match scheduled for August 26 at Hambantota.

With Pakistan’s victory in the last match, they have now secured a 2-0 lead in the series and are aiming for a clean sweep against Afghanistan.
Throughout the series, Pakistan have shown their dominance over Afghanistan. The first ODI was particularly one-sided, with Afghanistan being dismissed for a mere 59 runs.
