Pakistan will take on Oman for the first time ever in Dubai, as the fourth match of the Asia Cup is set to be played on September 12.
For Pakistan, this match serves more than just the purpose of opening their Asia Cup 2025 campaign – it’s a valuable chance to get used to Dubai’s playing conditions ahead of their high-stakes match against India on Sunday.
One of the key talking points leading into the game is Pakistan’s bowling combination, which could offer a glimpse into the strategy they plan to deploy against India.
Dubai pitches are known to assist spin, and how Pakistan structures its attack could be a dry run for the marquee fixture later this week.
