UAE T20I Tri-series full schedule, live timings, venues and live streaming

Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will gain valuable match practice ahead of the 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup by participating in a T20 tri-series hosted by the Emirates Cricket Board in Sharjah. 

 

Scheduled for August-September, the series aims to provide competitive preparation before the Asia Cup, which takes place from September 9 to 28, also in the UAE.

 

Initially, the ICC Future Tours Programme had Pakistan hosting Afghanistan for a three-match T20I series during this window, but plans were modified to accommodate the tri-series. Pakistan is currently playing a white-ball series against West Indies and begins their Asia Cup campaign against Oman on September 12.  Afghanistan’s last T20I outing was against Zimbabwe in late 2024 and they open their Asia Cup schedule against Hong Kong on September 9.

 

While Pakistan and Afghanistan have already qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup, UAE will seek qualification through regional playoffs in Oman this October.
