Wounded Pakistan face spirited UAE in do or die showdown
In the 10th match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan will take on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The upcoming fixture will be significantly crucial for both teams in determining their path to the Super Fours. Pakistan go into this match under pressure following a stinging defeat to arch-rivals India. Their struggle against India exposed flaws in both their batting and bowling departments, making it urgent for Pakistan to address their weakness and return strongly.
On the other side, the UAE are enjoying success. Their spirited victory over Oman in the previous match has proved that they are no pushovers in this tournament. Asked to bat, UAE put out a challenging total of 172/5 in 20 overs, with openers Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu slamming 69 and 51, respectively. Later, defending the total, UAE bowled Oman out for 130 in 18.4 overs, clinching a much-needed win. Heading into their new game, Pakistan will aim to get back to winning ways to consolidate their chances for Super Fours, while UAE would look to ride the momentum.
