Dubai International Stadium
Dubai has been a happy hunting ground for Pakistan in T20Is. The pitch usually offers a good balance for bat and ball. Chasing has been slightly easier under lights, but Pakistan’s strong bowling attack makes defending totals equally possible.
Pakistan enter as favorites, with a stronger batting lineup and bowling depth. However, Oman’s players like Jatinder Singh and Bilal Khan can cause trouble if Pakistan underestimates them. Fans can expect a competitive match with Pakistan looking to dominate but Oman aiming for a big upset.
