Asia Cup 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Pakistan vs UAE: Pakistan beat UAE in their final league game to join Indian in the next round from Group A
Pakistan vs UAE full highlights
Despite a sub-par show from the batters, Pakistan have managed to escape the UAE scare as their bowlers helped them defend a mere total of 146 in front of the hosts and powered them to a 41-run victory in the match to join India in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2025 from Group A. They will now face India next in their Super 4 match on Sunday, September 21.
Earlier, UAE won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision worked as Saim Ayub departed for a third straight duck in the tournament in the very first over to Junaid Siddique, who, in his next over, removed Sahibzada Farhan (5) to send both Pakistani openers back in the dug-out early.
Skipper Salman Agha and Fakhar Zaman then stitched a half-century stand for the third wicket to get Pakistan back on track before losing his wicket to Dhruv Parashar in the 11th over. On the other hand, Fakhar Zaman (50) continued his attack and brought up his 13th T20I fifty before losing his wicket to Simranjeet Singh, who then removed Hasan Nawaz (3) and Khushdil Shah (4) to put Pakistan on the backfoot.
Mohammad Nawaz (4) was the next batter to depart after losing his wicket to Junaid Siddique, who then removed Mohammad Haris (18) to finish his spell with four wickets to his name. Shaheen Afridi (29*), then played some good shots late in the innings to help Pakistan finish at 146 for 9 after 20 overs.
In reply, UAE lost their first wicket early as Shaheen Afridi cleaned up Alishan Sharafu’s stumps on just 12. Skipper Mohammad Waseem (14) could not do much either and lost his wicket to Abrar Ahmed. Saim Ayub then got the wicket of Muhammad Zohaib (4) to put UAE on the backfoot.
Dhruv Parashar (20) tried to stabilise the UAE innings but lost his wicket to Haris Rauf before Abrar Ahmed got the better of the dangerous Asif Khan (0). Skipper Salman Agha then got the wicket of the set Rahul Chopra (35) as Pakistan continued to inch towards the win.
Shaheen Afridi then removed Harshit Kaushik (0) before Sahibzada Farhan ran Simranjeet Singh (1) out. Haris Rauf then added one more wicket to his name in the form of Haider Ali (6) and ran Mohammad Rohid (0) out to end UAE’s innings on just 105 and win the match by 41 runs.
