Pakistan A (PAK-A) will face Oman (OMN) in the Match No. 1 of the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 on Friday, November 14 during the tournament opener at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium, Doha. This inaugural Rising Stars tournament features eight teams competing for the title.

Pakistan A will be led by Irfan Khan, with Yasir Khan, Saad Masood, Ghazi Ghori, and Ahmed Daniyal also being a part of their formidable squad for the eight-team event. Also known as the Shaheens, the side will aim to make a strong start in the tournament and set the tone for their campaign.

On the other hand, Oman will be captained by Hammad Mirza, with Zikria Islam, Wasim Ali, Sufiyan Yousaf, and Aryan Bisht forming a formidable line-up. They will look to showcase their talent on a bigger stage and begin the tournament on a positive note.

The pitch at West End Park International Cricket Stadium offers a balanced surface. In the early stages of an innings, pace bowlers can extract good swing, especially with the new ball, making the initial overs challenging for batters. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to settle, allowing set batters to play freely. However, during the second innings, dew can play a significant role, making the ball slippery for bowlers and making chasing easier.

Irfan Khan (captain), Yasir Khan, Mohammad Naeem, Saad Masood, Mubasir Khan, Ghazi Ghori (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Faiq, Ahmed Daniyal, Sufiyan Muqeem, Ubaid Shah, Maaz Sadaqat

Hammad Mirza (captain), Zikria Islam, Wasim Ali, Hassnain Shah, Muzahir Raza, Shafiq Jan, Sufyan Yousaf, Aryan Bisht, Samay Shrivastava, Shuaib Al Balushi, Pruthvikumar Macchi

Pakistan A skipper Irfan Khan could be the key batter in this clash. Although he has played 14 games with modest scores, he has consistently tried to step up when his team needed him most. He will be looking to come out stronger and guide Pakistan A to victory in the opening match.

Left-arm spinner Sufiyan Muqeem could be the key bowler in this clash. With 27 wickets in T20s, he will look to make an impact in this multi-nation tournament. His four overs could prove crucial for Oman and potentially trouble the batters throughout the game.
