Pakistan is set to face Oman in the 4th fixture of the Asia Cup 2025 edition. The Group A clash will be held on Friday, September 12, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 8:00 PM IST.

Pakistan

Pakistan will enter the tournament with strong momentum after winning a tri-series in Sharjah against the UAE and Afghanistan, clinching four of their five games. Before that, they impressed with a 2-1 T20I series win over the West Indies. Openers Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman will be vital, while Shaheen Afridi leads the bowling alongside rising spinner Sufiyan Muqeem.

Oman

In contrast, Oman lacks recent match practice, having last played against the USA in February, where they lost 3-0. Skipper Jatinder Singh, along with Hammad Mirza and Vinayak Shukla, will be key with the bat, supported by all-rounders Sufyan Mehmood and Aamir Kaleem.

PAK vs OMN Head-To-Head Overview

Interestingly, Pakistan and Oman have never competed against each other in the T20Is. Hence, the upcoming Asia Cup encounter will be unknown territory for both teams.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium usually offers slow, dry pitches that assist both pacers and spinners. Early on, fast bowlers like Shaheen Afridi can find some movement, but batting becomes easier as the ball gets older.

Spinners often control the middle overs. With long boundaries, hitting sixes is tough, so batters rely on quick running and rotating strikes. Evening dew makes chasing favourable, as bowlers struggle to grip the ball. The weather will be hot and dry, around 35°C, testing players’ fitness levels.

Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Fakhar Zaman, Agha Salman, Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Haris (WK), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
