Asia Cup 2025: Pakistan’s Super-4 Chances In Danger

<p>Pakistan&rsquo;s campaign in the Asia Cup 2025 seems to be going from bad to worse. After suffering a crushing defeat against India on September 14, their troubles have deepened further with UAE&rsquo;s brilliant win over Oman on September 15 in Abu Dhabi.</p>
<p>Batting first, UAE posted a strong total of 172 runs, thanks to captain Mohammad Wasim&rsquo;s explosive 69-run knock. In reply, Oman faltered and were bundled out for 130, handing UAE a commanding 42-run victory.</p>
<p>This result has directly increased the pressure on Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha.</p>
<p>While UAE&rsquo;s confidence has gone up, Salman himself is struggling with form, failing to cross double figures in two games so far.</p>
<p>Pakistan now face a do-or-die clash against UAE on September 17. Although Pakistan have won both their previous T20I encounters against UAE, the stakes are higher this time. Given UAE&rsquo;s current momentum, Pakistan cannot afford to take them lightly.</p>
<h3>Pakistan vs UAE Head-to-Head in T20Is</h3>
<p>Pakistan and UAE have met only a handful of times in T20 International cricket. So far, the two teams have faced each other twice, with Pakistan emerging victorious on both occasions.</p>
<p>The Men in Green have dominated these encounters, showcasing their superior experience and firepower. However, with UAE&rsquo;s recent form in the Asia Cup 2025, the upcoming clash promises to be more competitive than past meetings.</p>
<p><strong>India crush Pakistan by 7 wickets</strong></p>
<p>Pakistan&rsquo;s struggles in the Asia Cup 2025 continued as they suffered a heavy defeat against arch-rivals India on September 14 in Dubai.</p>
<p>Batting first, Pakistan&rsquo;s top order collapsed under pressure, with only a few players managing to get into double figures. India&rsquo;s bowlers dominated the innings and restricted Pakistan to a modest total.</p>
<p>In response, captain Suryakumar Yadav and young opener Abhishek Sharma ensured a smooth chase, sealing victory with more than four overs to spare. The one-sided result has raised serious questions over Pakistan&rsquo;s form and their chances of qualifying for the Super-4 stage.</p>
