PAK-A vs UAE, Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025, Match 9: The in-form Pakistan A team will take on bottom-placed United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Match No. 9 of the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha on Tuesday, November 18.
The Irfan Khan-led Pakistani team has already qualified for the semi-finals after winning their first two matches comfortably. They began their campaign by defeating Oman by 40 runs and then beat arch-rivals India A by eight wickets.
The United Arab Emirates have had a disappointing campaign so far. After a crushing 148-run defeat to India A, Alishan Sharafu and his team were looking to bounce back against Oman. However, Oman won the match by just two wickets in a thrilling last-ball thriller. The UAE has already been eliminated from the semi-final race and will now play for prestige.
The pitch for the PAK-A vs. UAE match at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha has been slowing as the tournament progresses. Initially, the surface offered consistent bounce and was conducive to strokeplay, especially during the powerplay. However, as more matches have been played, the pitch has begun to favor bowlers—especially spinners, who will play a key role in the middle overs.
Running will be easier for batsmen in the early overs of the innings, but as the ball gets older and the pitch wears down, it will become more difficult. Captains can try to maximize their score during the powerplay, while caution is needed in the middle overs. Given the current conditions, the first innings score could be around 120-130 runs, and both teams should be prepared for a close contest, where skillful bowling and patient batting will be crucial.
Aaj ka PAK-A vs UAE match kon jeetega: The 9th match of the ACC Men's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025, scheduled to take place today at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, is likely to favor Pakistan A.
