Asia Cup 2025: UAE vs Pakistan 10th Match Prediction - Who will win today's match between UAE vs PAK 8th T20I match?

The tenth match of the tournament will see the hosts UAE, taking on Pakistan in a high-stakes match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on 17th September. 

UAE

The UAE are almost on the verge of creating history. They broke their six-match winless streak after beating Oman by 42 runs in their second Asia Cup 2025 match. While batting first, the hosts posted 172 for 5 in their innings with the help of half-centuries from both openers. Later, with the help of Junaid Siddique's four-fer, the UAE were able to win the match convincingly. With 2 points in their two matches, their next match against Pakistan becomes a do-or-die for them. 

Pakistan

Pakistan, on the other hand, started their Asia Cup tournament on a commanding note. They defeated Oman by 93 runs in their opening match, but had to face a 6-wicket humiliating defeat against their arch-rivals India in their second match. They were only able to score 127 runs in their first innings, and India chased down the target within 15.5 overs. With India already qualified for the Super Four, Pakistan and the UAE having the same points in their first two matches, they will need to win this match in order to qualify.

UAE vs PAK 10th T20I Pitch Report

The venue at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is mostly favourable for the spinners, as we have seen from the matches that are being played here. The average first-innings total in this format is just 145, which suggests that scoring and playing freely won't be an easy choice. However, since it is a day-night game, the ball can move under the light, and batters will be able to play only if they get settled at the crease.
