Pakistan, with two wins and one defeat, will take on the United Arab Emirates in the fifth game of the Tri-Series. The upcoming game will take place at Sharjah Cricket Ground at 8:30 PM IST on Thursday (September 4).
United Arab Emirates Preview
United Arab Emirates have been slightly inexperienced in playing against higher-tier cricket teams. They have been missing key performances from their key performers.
- Key Batter: Muhammad Waseem is leading the chart as the third-highest scorer in this tri-series. He has been at his attacking best and needs support from other batters.
- Captaincy: Waseem has been brilliant with the bat but needs luck at the toss. He is pretty good at his captaincy overall.
- Batting Strength: UAE have some exciting batters, and they can put up a big total on their day.
- Bowling Attack: Bowling is something the UAE need to worry about. Their bowlers need to work on their death bowling.
Pakistan Preview
Pakistan are at the top of the table in the Tri-Series. They lost the last game, but still, they have a good settled unit, and they will be favorites to win this game.
- Batting: Pakistan are struggling with runs from their top order. But they have good in-form players in the middle. Agha Salman, Hasan Nawaz, and Sahibzada Farhan have played some good knocks.
- Bowling: Haris Rauf, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz and Sufiyan Muqeem have done well so far. They are experienced players and know how to bowl tightly in this format.
