Pakistan is set to compete with the UAE in match 10 of the Asia Cup 2025. The clash will be held on Wednesday, September 17, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 8:00 PM IST.

Pakistan

Pakistan began their Asia Cup 2025 campaign on a strong note with a 93-run win over Oman. However, their momentum was halted by India, who defeated them by 7 wickets. The spotlight has been on young opener Saim Ayub, but his back-to-back golden ducks have left Pakistan looking for answers at the top. Senior batters Fakhar Zaman and Salman Ali Agha will need to shoulder responsibility. Pakistan’s spinners are expected to be crucial, and their bowling attack, led by Shaheen Afridi, will aim to dominate the UAE batters.

UAE

The UAE had a tough start against India but showed character with a 42-run win over Oman. Openers Alishan Sharafu and Muhammad Waseem will once again be the key, especially after their fluent half-centuries and 88-run partnership in the last match. In the bowling department, Junaid Siddique was the star with a four-wicket haul and will look to trouble Pakistan’s top order. Supported by Haider Ali, the UAE attack has the potential to test Pakistan if it maintains discipline.

PAK vs UAE Head-To-Head Overview

Pakistan previously competed with the UAE in 3 T20Is and won all the contests, thus having a 100% win record. Hence, the pressure on the UAE will linger in the upcoming Asia Cup game.

Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has hosted 4 matches so far in this Asia Cup 2025, and the surface has mostly favoured the bowlers. The average first-innings score here has been around 124, showing that run-making has not been easy. 

Interestingly, 3 of the 4 games have been won by the chasing side, underlining the advantage of batting second under lights. On Wednesday, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first and look to control the chase.
