Current Form Qatar:

Qatar are currently placed at the 29th position on ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 113.

When it comes to T20I's, Qatar are in superb form. They have won 3 out of their last 5 completed T20I fixtures.

Qatar won't start as favorites but they know the conditions very well and can certainly win phases of a game against a strong Afghanistan side.

Players to look out for:

1. Zubair Ali - He is an experienced top order batter, who cashes upon loose deliveries and takes the game on in tough situations.

2. Mirza Mohammed Baig - He is the strike bowler for Qatar, who can provide breakthroughs at important junctures of a game.

Current Form Afghanistan:

Afghanistan are currently placed at the 10th position on ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 220.

When it comes to T20I's, Afghanistan are in great form. They have recently won a 3 Match T20I Series against Zimbabwe by 3-0.

Afghanistan will be playing without their mainstay players like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi. They are a young side but a bright one. Afghanistan are expected to perform a clean sweep over Qatar in the T20I Series.

Players to look out for:

1. Zubaid Akbari - He is an exciting T20 batter, who takes the bowlers on right from the word go. Akbari is expected to be amongst the runs in the upcoming matches.

2. Qais Ahmad - He is an intelligent T20 bowler, who has plenty of variations in his bowling arsenal. Qais Ahmad may become the top wicket taker in the T20I Series against Qatar.
