Qatar and Afghanistan Clash in Crucial T20I Series Opener
8 Nov
Summary
- Qatar and Afghanistan to face off in 3-match T20I series
- Qatar looking to build on recent T20 World Cup qualifiers performance
- Afghanistan coming off a dominant 3-0 T20I series win over Zimbabwe
On November 8, the Qatar national cricket team will face off against the Afghanistan national cricket team in the first T20I of a three-match series. The series, which concludes on November 11, will be played entirely in Doha, Qatar's capital city.
Qatar is coming off a decent performance in the recent ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia & East Asia Pacific Qualifiers 2025-26, where they finished fourth in the Super Six stage. The team managed to qualify from Group A as the second-best team and gave a scare to better-ranked opponents in the Super 6s.
In contrast, Afghanistan is entering the series on the back of a 3-0 T20I series win over Zimbabwe, where the visitors dominated across all departments in all three matches. The Afghan team will be looking to continue their strong form and assert their dominance over the hosts.
The Qatar vs Afghanistan 1st T20I 2025 will be played at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, with the match scheduled to start at 8:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) on November 8. Unfortunately, due to a lack of broadcast partners in India, fans will not have any telecast viewing options for the series, but they can catch the live online streaming on the FanCode app and website.
