Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 Match 9: PAK-A vs UAE head-to-head, pitch report & predicted playing XIs
Pakistan A meet UAE in Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 Match 9, with Pakistan aiming to extend their unbeaten run while UAE looks to salvage pride after a tough campaign.
The Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 continues with Match No. 9, where the in-form Pakistan A (PAK-A) will take on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha on Tuesday, November 18. Both teams are heading into the match with very different situations in the tournament.
Pakistan A, Led by Irfan Khan, has been quite excellent so far. They have already sealed a semifinal berth after winning both their opening encounters quite convincingly. They started off with a 40-run victory over Oman and followed it up with a thumping eight-wicket win over India A. Confidence will be high as Pakistan A will look to keep their winning momentum going.
On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates have struggled in the tournament. They were first crushed by India A by 148 runs. In their second match, they fought hard against Oman but lost on the very last ball by just two wickets. That defeat ended their chances of reaching the semi-finals, and they will now play for pride and improvement in their remaining games.

PAK-A vs UAE: Pitch Report
The pitch at the West End Park Stadium has started to slow down as the tournament progresses. While the first few games were high scoring, this surface may now be a bit more difficult for batting. Spinners are expected to play a big role, especially in the middle overs. Batters will need to make the most of the powerplay when scoring is easier. A score around par will depend on how well teams handle the slower conditions.
