The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will take on Oman (OMN) in the Match No. 5 of the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 on Sunday, November 16, at the West End Park International Stadium in Doha.

UAE endured a poor start to the tournament, suffering a heavy 148-run defeat against India A. They struggled in both departments, failing to contain the opposition with the ball and later faltering in the run chase. With that setback behind them, UAE will now look to bounce back, secure their first win, and open their account in the points table.

Meanwhile, Oman also had a disappointing beginning, losing their opening encounter against Pakistan A. They will be aiming to regroup quickly and come back stronger in their second match of the campaign. Oman will be determined to put up an improved performance and get their first points on the board as the tournament progresses.

The surface at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. While batters will have opportunities to score once they settle in, bowlers, especially seamers, could find some early movement with the new ball. As the pitch begins to settle, stroke-making is likely to become easier, allowing batters to capitalize.

Alishan Sharafu (c), Syed Haider (wk), Sohaib Khan, Mayank Rajesh Kumar, Harshit Kaushik, Aayan Afzal Khan, Ahmed Tariq, Muhammad Arfan, Muhammad Farazuddin, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Muhammad Jawadullah

Hammad Mirza (c), Sufyan Yousaf (wk), Karan Sonavale, Wasim Ali, Aryan Bisht, Narayan Saishiv, Zikria Islam, Muzahir Raza, Shafiq Jan, Samay Shrivastava, Jay Odedra

UAE middle-order batter Sohaib Khan could be the key performer in this clash. He impressed with a brilliant 63 off 41 balls against India A, showcasing his ability to score freely across the ground. If he finds his rhythm again, Sohaib can anchor the innings and accelerate when needed, potentially dominating the opposition and giving UAE the strong platform they need.

Oman spinner Wasim Ali might be the key bowler in this clash. He delivered an impressive four-over spell in the opening match against Pakistan A, conceding minimal runs and maintaining excellent control. With his ability to apply pressure and restrict scoring, Wasim can once again produce a crucial spell and play a vital role in guiding Oman toward their much-needed first victory of the tournament.
