United Arab Emirates vs Pakistan Team Preview & Squads
United Arab Emirates
Muhammad Waseem leads the UAE with calm authority and aggressive intent at the top of the order. He has been the backbone of the batting line-up, often giving the team a solid start. His leadership will be crucial in motivating a relatively inexperienced side against a strong Pakistan team.
UAE has a top-heavy batting line-up with Waseem and Asif Khan leading the charge. Middle-order stability is provided by players like Haider Ali and Junaid Siddique, though consistency remains a concern. The lower order, including Muhammad Rohid and Dhruv Parashar, will have to contribute if the team is to post a competitive total.
The UAE’s bowling department is a mix of pace and spin, led by Muhammad Farooq and Harshit Kaushik. While they can take early wickets, maintaining pressure throughout the innings has been a challenge. Support from all-rounders like Haider Ali will be key in containing Pakistan’s aggressive batting.
In their last match against Afghanistan (3rd Match at Sharjah, Sep 01, 2025), UAE managed 150/8 chasing a target of 189. Afghanistan posted 188/4 in their 20 overs, cruising to a 38-run victory. UAE’s middle order failed to accelerate when needed, and their bowlers struggled to contain the Afghan batters. This performance underlined the team’s need for better consistency in both batting and bowling.

Pakistan
PAK thrives under Agha’s steady leadership and smart on-field decisions. His leadership focuses on balancing youth and experience while encouraging aggressive cricket. He will play a key role in guiding the team against a spirited UAE side.
The combination of Zaman and Shah provides Pakistan’s openers with unmatched attacking strength. The middle order is reinforced by Hussain Talat, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Nawaz, providing both stability and firepower. The depth allows flexibility in chasing or setting totals in T20 matches.
PAK pace trio, led by Afridi and supported by Rauf and Hasan Ali, promises to trouble any batting line-up. Spin options like Abrar Ahmed provide control during the middle overs. The bowlers can pick wickets at regular intervals, which is critical against teams like the UAE.
Pakistan suffered a narrow defeat to Afghanistan in their previous outing (4th Match at Sharjah, Sep 02, 2025), scoring 151/9 chasing 170. Afghanistan posted 169/5 and managed to win by 18 runs. Pakistan’s top order collapsed under pressure, and the bowlers failed to defend crucial overs. This loss will have them determined to regain momentum against the UAE.
