PK A vs UAE: Team Previews

Pakistan A

Pakistan A's recent performance was proof of their ability to make a comeback. Despite a shaky start against Oman, where captains Mohammad Haris and Yasir Khan departed early for just three runs each, the middle order stepped up to the plate.

Omair Yousuf and Qasim Akram knuckled down with a partnership that brought stability, with the latter scoring 48. The fireworks truly began with Rohail Nazir (41* off 20) and Arafat Minhas (31* off 15), who provided a late innings surge, propelling Pakistan A to a formidable 185/5.

On the bowling front, Shahnawaz Dahani led the charge with an economical spell, giving away just 13 runs in his four overs and a wicket to his name. Zaman Khan, the standout bowler, snagged two crucial wickets, maintaining pressure that ultimately stifled Oman at 111, securing a massive 74-run victory for Pakistan A.

A win in this game will help Pakistan A qualify for the semis and they will come out all guns blazing to secure their qualification.

UAE

Contrastingly, the UAE team faces an uphill battle after a huge loss against India A by seven wickets. Their batting was dismal as they folded for a dismal 107. Captain Basil Hameed (22) and opener Rahul Chopra were the only batsmen to make meaningful contributions, with the latter scoring a half-century that became the backbone of their innings.

The UAE bowlers, though successful in their last outing, have struggled with consistency. Omid Rahman and his cohort managed to contain India A but were not without their challenges, as evidenced by Hameed's expensive over where he gave away 22 runs.

The upcoming match for UAE against Pakistan A demands a step-up in performance, with every player needing to be firing on all cylinders as they look to leave their mark.
