Toss Update
Pakistan win the toss and elect to bat first at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss against Oman’s Jatinder Singh and chose to bat first, aiming to post a big score to pressure the opposition. Salman noted the wicket looks good and the team is coming together, with a balanced lineup of three spinners, all-rounders, and pacers, targeting an above-par total. Jatinder, leading Oman in their Asia Cup debut, said he would have batted first too, calling it a historic moment to compete against Asian giants. He highlighted their spin-oriented side, with Aamir Kaleem, Mohammad Nadeem, and himself as the most experienced players.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium is hard but slightly dry, offering bounce for pacers.
Bazid Khan reports that this is the same pitch used for the India vs UAE match. It looks hard and has been rolled nicely but appears a bit drier. Pacers who bend their backs can expect assistance and bounce. Stats suggest bowling first is advantageous, as India did successfully, but Pakistan will aim to set a challenging total with their strong batting lineup.
