United Arab Emirates

 

Muhammad Waseem leads the UAE with experience and tactical awareness. Known for his ability to anchor innings and take calculated risks, Waseem often stabilizes the batting lineup. His leadership will be crucial in guiding the team against Afghanistan’s strong bowling attack.

 

UAE’s batting revolves around Waseem, Asif Khan, and Rahul Chopra, who can accelerate the innings if needed. Middle-order hitters like Junaid Siddique and Haider Ali provide stability. However, the team may struggle if early wickets fall against Afghanistan’s spin-heavy attack.

 

The UAE bowling unit is balanced with a mix of seamers and spinners. Muhammad Farooq and Ethan D’Souza lead the pace attack, while Alishan Sharafu and Harshit Kaushik provide spin options. The bowlers must contain Afghanistan’s top order and pick wickets in the middle overs to remain competitive.

 

In their last encounter against Afghanistan on September 01, 2025, the UAE posted 150/8 in response to Afghanistan’s 188/4. Waseem and Rahul Chopra tried to rescue the innings, but the UAE fell short by 38 runs. The team struggled to build partnerships and lacked penetration in the bowling department. Learning from this defeat, the UAE will aim for a stronger performance in the upcoming match.

UAE vs AFG Outfield Report

Sharjah Cricket Stadium

 

The Sharjah pitch is generally batting-friendly with even bounce, though it can assist spinners in the middle overs. Fast bowlers get some movement early in the innings but tend to lose grip as the match progresses. Teams winning the toss usually prefer batting first to set a challenging total.

 

The weather is expected to be hot and dry, with temperatures around 38°C during the afternoon match. Humidity levels will remain moderate, and no rainfall is forecast. Such conditions may favor teams with strong batting depth and spin options.

 

Sharjah has seen high scores crossing 200, especially when batting first, while lower totals of 140-150 are defendable if bowlers exploit early movement. Chasing teams often face pressure under lights due to slower outfield and spin-friendly conditions.
