Now the UAE team would like to perform well in this series and establish its standing in international cricket by playing well against two good teams from Asia. The UAE team has emerged in associate-level cricket and the team has a mix of local and experienced players.
On the other hand, if we talk about Pakistan, then the Pakistan team is in good form, as they won the last series against the West Indies in their home ground earlier this month. And yesterday they beat Afghanistan by 39 runs. This Pakistan team has a combination of young and experienced players.
It has been observed for some time that Pakistan often struggles to win against low-ranked teams. Today it will be interesting to see how Pakistan performs against such a team. Let us tell you that Babar and Rizwan are no longer part of Pakistan’s T20I squad for this UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025 and the upcoming event, the Asia Cup.

Pitch Report
The Sharjah surface offers good batting conditions early on, with short boundaries favoring stroke play. As the game progresses, the pitch slows down, giving spinners and slower bowlers an advantage. A total around 160–170 is usually competitive. Dew in the second innings can make chasing easier.
Match Prediction
Pakistan will enter this match as favorites, with their strong bowling attack and explosive young batting lineup. However, the UAE is playing at home, so they have the advantage of the home conditions and can give a good fight to Pakistan.
