Upcoming Match Preview: Pakistan and United Arab Emirates in the 2025 Asia Cup: Pakistan Sets Sights on Recovering from India Loss Against Challenging UAE Opponents
In the upcoming game on September 17 in Dubai, Pakistan will face the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a crucial match that could determine their entry into the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4s.
The UAE team, led by captain Mohammed Waseem and batter Alishan Sharafu, who are both experienced in the T20 format, will be a formidable opponent. The UAE's bowling attack, comprising Junaid Siddique, Haider Ali, Dhruv Parashar, and Harshit Kaushik, will aim to provide the necessary support to their team.
UAE has shown resilience in the tournament so far, recovering from a loss against India with a win over Oman. However, they will face a tough challenge against Pakistan, who currently sit second in Group A with two points, ahead of UAE.
Pakistan's squad for the match includes Salman Ali Agha, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hasan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Waseem Jnr, Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Mirza, Shaheen Afridi, Sufyan Moqim.
Emerging players Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, and Hasan Nawaz will need to perform well against UAE to help Pakistan advance. Pakistan's batting lineup struggled against India, particularly against the spinners Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy.
The outcome of this match is crucial for Pakistan, as a defeat could lead to their early exit from the tournament. Notably, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had sought the removal of match referee Andy Pycroft following a dispute with India. However, Pycroft is scheduled to officiate Pakistan's final league game of the tournament.
As for the UAE, the cricket player who was notably impactful against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai on September 17 is not explicitly named in the available search results. The results do not specify a particular UAE player who 'attacked' or excelled against Pakistan on that date.
The UAE's squad includes Muhammad Waseem, Alishan Sharafu, Aryansh Sharma, Asif Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Ethan D'Souza, Haider Ali, Harshit Kaushik, Junaid Siddique, Matiullah Khan, Muhammad Farooq, Muhammad Jawadullah, Muhammad Zohaib, Rahul Chopra, Rohid Khan, Simranjeet Singh, Saghir Khan.
UAE's bowlers, particularly Siddique who can be lively, and Haider Ali who is parsimonious, will need to provide more support to their batsmen to secure a victory against Pakistan. The stakes are high, and both teams will be eager to secure a win in this crucial encounter.
