PAK vs UAE Team Previews

Pakistan

Pakistan’s poor record against India in the T20 format continued on Sunday as they were blown away by the reigning champions by 7 wickets. However, they have a chance to redeem themselves here as a win could potentially take them to the Super Four stage.

Saim Ayub has struggled at the top of the order, getting dismissed for a golden duck in both his outings thus far, and that has put the middle order under pressure. Sahibzada Farhan played a good knock in the last match, holding on to one end, but received very little support from the other batsmen.

Fakhar Zaman, who is the team’s most experienced batsman, has had a couple of decent starts, but he needs to play a big knock to reclaim his confidence.

The others, including Mohammad Haris, Hasan Nawaz, Salman Agha, and Mohammad Nawaz, were all struggling on Sunday as they failed to reach double digits. If Pakistan wants to put up a better performance going ahead, they will have to work on their batting.

Coming to the bowling, Pakistan’s spinners will play an important role here. Saim Ayub is the team’s best bowler with 5 wickets and will have the support of Sufiyan Muqeem and Abrar Ahmed. Shaheen Shah Afridi is their only frontline seamer, and will be joined by Ashraf.

United Arab Emirates

The UAE were decimated by India in their opening fixture. However, the team bounced back from that loss on Monday by defeating Oman and has also kept their qualification hopes alive. Nevertheless, Pakistan is a much tougher opponent, and the UAE will have to come up with something special to win this match.

Alishan Sharafu and Muhammad Waseem gave the UAE a strong start in the last match and will look to do the same here. Waseem is among the team’s most senior players, while Sharafu has been a prolific scorer of late.

The middle order consists of Asif Khan, Muhammad Zohaib, Rahul Chopra, and Harshit Kaushik. While all of them are talented batsmen, they lack the experience of playing against strong bowling units like the one from Pakistan and are likely to struggle on the slow surface.

The team’s only specialist all-rounder, Dhruv Parashar, has struggled with the bat. The UAE’s bowling prowess will be put to the test in this match. Junaid Siddique has bowled well with the new ball to pick up 5 wickets in two matches. He will be joined by Muhammad Rohid Khan and Jawadullah in the pace department.

Haider Ali picked up two wickets in the previous match and retains his place as the specialist spinner.

PAK vs UAE Toss Prediction

Three of the four matches played here in this tournament were won while chasing. In two of those matches, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch in Dubai has usually favoured the slower bowlers, and we expect the same trend to continue in this match as well. There is some grass on the surface but, it’s a bit dry and rolled in. The batsmen will need to be cautious when selecting their shots.

Anything over 170 will be tricky to chase on this ground.

The weather will remain warm with temperatures around 34 degrees, and dew might play a role in the second half.

PAK vs UAE: Who Will Win?

We are backing Pakistan to win this match. They have an excellent chance of recovering from the loss against India. UAE will hope to put up a good fight, but are unlikely to win.

Bet on Pakistan to win.

PAK vs UAE win percentage stands at 88% in favor of PAK.
