Pakistan Preview
Salman Agha and his team won the last T20 series against the West Indies. However, the team has struggled with form recently, losing their last T20 series to Afghanistan. They are aware of their opponent's strengths and are in a transition phase with several young players. Agha wants to get the best out of his players and start the tournament with a win.
Fakhar Zaman, an experienced player, will need to give a strong start, along with Saim Ayub. The middle order, including Mohammad Haris, Salman Agha, and Hasan Nawaz, must form good partnerships. Faheem Ashraf and Shaheen Afridi will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
Shaheen Afridi is the key bowler in the attack. He must do well with the new ball, alongside Haris Rauf. Faheem Ashraf and Abrar Ahmed will enjoy bowling in these conditions and must trouble the batters in the middle overs. Salman Agha, Hussain Talat, and Mohammad Nawaz will bring variety to the attack and should aim to perform well.
Key Players: Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Haris (wk), Salman Agha (c)

United Arab Emirates vs Pakistan Prediction
The UAE will take confidence from their recent T20I series win against Bangladesh. However, they lack the squad depth of Pakistan and Afghanistan. While home advantage may help them, most predictions suggest they will struggle to reach the final. With the ball, UAE's bowlers had varying degrees of success:
Juma Miyagi bowled 3 overs, conceding 22 runs without taking any wickets, at an economy rate of 7.33. Frank Nsubuga bowled 3 overs, taking 2 wickets for 31 runs, with an economy rate of 10.33. Cosmas Kyewuta bowled 4 overs, taking 1 wicket for 35 runs, with an economy rate of 8.75. With all this, I know Pakistan will go into history and get the victory. Historically they have proven that they can be trusted to come through in one way or the other.
