PAK vs UAE, Asia Cup 2025 Match Prediction: Who will win today’s game between Pakistan and United Arab Emirates?

Table of Contents

The Asia Cup 2025 is heating up, and all eyes now turn to the Dubai International Cricket Stadium where Pakistan will face the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a do-or-die encounter on Wednesday. With both teams having played two matches each—winning one and losing one—this clash effectively acts as a virtual knockout, with the winner securing a berth in the Super 4 stage.

Pakistan, known for their strong tournament history, enter this contest under pressure after a mixed run so far. While their star-studded lineup boasts big names with both bat and ball, inconsistency has hurt them. Their batting unit, led by skipper Salman Ali Agha, will be expected to fire at the top, while the middle order must contribute to avoid collapses. With Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz spearheading the bowling attack, Pakistan’s pace battery remains their biggest weapon on the Dubai surface.

The United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, have been the surprise package of Group A. Their spirited performance against stronger opposition has earned them respect and made this encounter a potential thriller. A win here would take them into the Super 4s for the first time, a historic moment for UAE cricket. Their batting will rely heavily on Muhammad Waseem to provide stability, while the bowling unit, armed with spinners who know the Dubai conditions well, could prove tricky for Pakistan’s batters.

Teams chasing have enjoyed better results, making the toss an important factor in this virtual knockout.
