Table of Contents

The Asia Cup 2025 continues to build momentum as Pakistan take on Oman in the Group A clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. With both sides playing their first game of the tournament, anticipation among fans is at its peak.

Pakistan will begin their campaign with a fresh-looking squad that blends youth with a handful of experienced performers. The spotlight will be on Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf to lead the bowling attack, while Fakhar Zaman is expected to anchor the batting order. New captain Salman Ali Agha has the added responsibility of guiding this side after the selectors chose to move on from stalwarts Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for this edition. The Men in Green will be eager to set the tone with a convincing win.

For Oman, the pressure is minimal, but the opportunity is massive. Led by Jatinder Singh, the side features promising names like Aryan Bisht, Vinayak Shukla, and all-rounder Sufyan Mehmood. Though they come in as underdogs, Oman’s fearless brand of cricket has the potential to trouble established sides if their key players step up on the big stage.

This will be the first-ever T20 International between Pakistan and Oman.

The Dubai International Stadium is widely recognized for its balanced playing conditions that give both batters and bowlers a fair chance. Early in the contest, the track usually provides a reliable bounce, which allows stroke-makers to play their shots freely. As the innings wear on, the wicket generally slows down, creating opportunities for spinners to make an impact. Pacers can find some assistance with the new ball through seam movement, but the vast square boundaries mean they must maintain strict discipline in their lines and lengths. Over the years, the venue has shown a trend of favoring teams that chase, particularly because evening matches are often influenced by dew, making it tougher for bowlers to grip and control the ball. Consequently, skippers winning the toss tend to opt for bowling first to maximize these advantages.
