Following a thrilling first game in the T20I Tri-series opener, the hosts, the United Arab Emirates, will face Pakistan in the second match of this series, to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. This exciting encounter will take place on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at 8:30 PM IST.

United Arab Emirates

Hosts United Arab Emirates (UAE) are coming off a decent series in the Pearl of Africa T20I Series, where they won four of the six games, losing just two, both against Uganda. The side consists of some solid batting firepower, led by Muhammad Waseem.

At the same time, the pace of Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Jawadullah, Muhammad Rohid, and spinner Haider Ali are also likely to come in handy. The side boasts high-quality hitters and bowlers, having gained plenty of experience playing in top international leagues.

Pakistan

On the other hand, the Pakistan side are coming off an impressive victory over Afghanistan by a clear margin of 39 runs, as they defended 182 in the opening encounter. Pakistan's skipper, Salman Agha, played a defining 53-run not-out knock of 36 deliveries, while Mohammad Nawaz's cameo of 21 off 11 deliveries in the end helped their cause, and he also bagged figures of 2 for 23 in his four overs with the ball.

In contrast, Haris Rauf was the star of the show with four wickets in his tally, which also includes Shaheen Afridi and Sufiyan Muqeem's two wickets. With the kind of firepower they have in their lineup, expect them to post another massive score on the board.

How Will The Pitch At Sharjah Cricket Stadium Behave?

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah saw some massive sixes being hit during the course of the game due to the shorter boundaries in play. The pitch was conducive for batting, especially in the first half of the game, where batting proved to be easier as compared to the second half.

As the match progressed, it became increasingly difficult for the batters as the pitch started to favour the bowlers, who generated some movement off the surface, making it tougher to hit through the line. Runs were especially hard to come by in the second half, which proved that batting in the first innings was beneficial. Spinners did come into play alongside the pacers, which means that the side winning the toss will likely opt to bat first in this encounter.

Players To Watch Out For In UAE vs PAK 2nd T20I

United Arab Emirates

Muhammad Waseem

UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem has been an influential opening batter who consistently scores runs at the top of the order. In 78 matches that he has played for the UAE, he has been able to manage 2,759 runs at an average of 37.79 while striking at 155.52, with three centuries and 22 half-centuries to his name. Therefore, expect him to fire once again with the bat for his side.

Asif Khan

Asif Khan is yet another impressive star in the UAE lineup, with 1,173 runs in 49 games for his side at an average of 30.07, while striking at 136.87, and has already scored five half-centuries in his career. Asif's ability to provide his side with much-needed blows has massively helped him and his team. In the upcoming game, expect him to give another tough fight to the opposition.

Muhammad Jawadullah

Left-arm pacer Muhammad Jawadullah, who has the experience of playing in 33 T20I matches, has been quite consistent, picking 54 wickets with an average of just 17.51, while bowling at an economy of 7.55. In the series against Bangladesh, he managed to pick seven wickets in just two matches, while figures of 4/21 and 3/45 came in handy for the UAE side.

Pakistan

Salman Agha

Pakistani skipper Salman Agha displayed proper class with a knock of 53 not out in the first game, achieved from just 36 deliveries, which included three boundaries and as many maximums, resulting in a strike rate of 147.22. Therefore, expect him to fire once again with the bat, as the shorter boundaries will only help his cause.

Mohammad Nawaz

Mohammad Nawaz proved his mettle once again, scoring a brisk 21 off 11 deliveries in the end, including a boundary and two maximums while striking at 190.91. Along the way, he also managed to pick two wickets in his four overs, giving away just 23 runs at an economy of 5.80. Therefore, with the ability to change the narrative with both bat and ball, expect Nawaz to be at the forefront once again.

Haris Rauf

Right-arm fast express pacer Haris Rauf bowled a commanding spell in the first T20I against Afghanistan, picking four wickets in his 3.5 overs at an economy of 8.10, where he snapped up crucial wickets at important junctions of the game, as Afghanistan could never fight back after Rauf's powerful spell, as his pace was hot to handle. That is why he is one such player to look out for in this contest.
