Pakistan face Oman in Group A clash of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, September 12. Pakistan arrive in strong form, having recently clinched the UAE Tri-Series title with a thumping 75-run win over Afghanistan in the final, where Mohammad Nawaz starred with a five-wicket haul and was named Player of the Series.
Oman, on the other hand, are looking to regroup after a tough T20I series against the USA earlier this year, where they lost 3-0. This encounter will test Oman against one of the region’s powerhouses, while Pakistan aim to continue their momentum heading into the tournament.
