After a morale boosting tri-series triumph over United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Afghanistan, Pakistan would be eyeing for a winning start against Oman in their Asia Cup 2025 opener on Friday in Dubai. While Pakistan are the two-time champions, Oman are making their debut in the continental showpiece after qualifying through 2024 ACC Premier Cup.

Pakistan are coming into this tournament after winning 11 out of 19 T20Is in 2025. While they lost to New Zealand 1-4, the Salman Agha-led side won one and lost one series against Bangladesh.

They won a three-match series against USA before winning the tri-series which also involved UAE and Afghanistan. On the other hand, Oman last played a T20I in February against USA, which they lost in all three games.

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

Time: 8 PM IST | 6:30 PM Gulf Standard Time
