The ongoing United Arab Emirates T20I Tri-Series is set to continue at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium as Pakistan take on the UAE in the 5th T20I of the three-team series.

Both teams are coming off a defeat at the hands of Afghanistan. Pakistan had a solid start to the campaign, winning two games in a row against the UAE and Afghanistan, respectively. However, their last game didn't go the way they would have liked, as they suffered a loss against their arch-rival neighbours. But they will hope to put that result behind their back and make a comeback in this contest.

On the other hand, the UAE is yet to open its account as they have lost both their encounters so far. They will once again be up against a strong Pakistan team, which might be a tough code to crack once again.

The dimensions of the ground have always favoured the batters. Batting is expected to get better as the game progresses. However, the pitch has played out to be double-paced on several occasions, which might bring spinners into play in the middle overs.

Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Agha(c), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Haris(w), Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Sufiyan Muqeem

Muhammad Zohaib, Muhammad Waseem(c), Asif Khan, Rahul Chopra(w), Ethan DSouza, Harshit Kaushik, Dhruv Parashar, Saghir Khan, Haider Ali, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Junaid Siddique

Pakistani opener Saim Ayub could be the best batter in the upcoming fifth T20I against the UAE. The southpaw has scored 83 runs and had a big role to play in the team's wins. In the last game against arch-rivals Afghanistan, he was removed for a duck, which eventually cost the team a disappointing loss.

UAE's pacer Saghir Khan could be the best bowler in the upcoming game of the series. In the two games played, he has bagged five wickets at an average of 19.20. While his team hasn't yet opened its account, the speedster has been making an impact consistently. However, he hopes that in the upcoming game, his contribution will lead the UAE to the winning end.
