Pakistan Preview

Pakistan enter this game after losing to India by seven wickets in their second game of this competition. They had started the tournament with a 93-run win over Oman, but they couldn't carry the momentum to their second game. They now find themselves in a must-win situation to advance to the next round. Nevertheless, Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan combined for 40 off 44 against India, and their improvement in this clash will be crucial for a win.

The United Arab Emirates returned to winning ways in their last game with a 42-run win over Oman. They had started this competition with a 9-wicket loss to India. Just like Pakistan, the UAE must win this clash to make it to the next round, thereby making history in the process. Their last win was due to significant contributions of some players with fifties from Muhammad Waseem (69 off 54) and Alishan Sharafu (51 off 38), and Junaid Siddique's four-wicket haul.
