U.A.E. vs Pakistan, 10th Match, Group A at Dubai, Asia Cup, Sep 17 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Over the wicket, length and hovering outside off-stump, pushed to cover

Ayub strikes in his first over! He is on fire, not a part-time bowler anymore! Fires it quick on a length and it nipped back sharply, pegs him back and he is unable to play it through the line, stumps askew. Superb bowling! And a fiery celebration

fuller and straightening down the line middle, chipped in the air and Saim was in business for a moment

around the wicket, length and darting in from outside off, blocked into the covers

lobbed up on a length and follows his leg-side initial movement, nudged off the pads to square leg for a run

tossed full on middle and leg, gets on the front foot and blocks it back to Abrar

slip in place, fuller googly outside off, nurdles it to deep third, square of him

slower on a length and pushed wide of off, reaches out and throws his bat at it, it was swirling away from Nawaz at cover-point, was a carrom ball, Nawaz takes a stunning catch, stretching fully and pocketing an incredible low catch. It's a massive breakthrough! He instills a lot of belief and confidence in the team and once he is dismissed, UAE often lacks the belief to turn things around

googly on middle, nurgled to midwicket in the ring

Tossed up and a little outside off, tries a late cut, fails to connect

shorter in length and slanting in at middle, slapped on the rise to cover

Thuds it at short length on off, steps to the leg side and stamps his authority with a powerful smack and beats long-off, play with a lot of valor and swagger

Backs away and tries to clatter the slow shorter one on off, finds the man at cover, was a slower one

Hits the deck hard, gets a little bit of jag back from fifth stump line, tonked back to the bowler

One slip in place. Short of a length and holding its line on middle and leg, clipped leg side for a quick single

Shorter in length, kept moving away from wide of off, didn't connect on the cut and the keeper dives but can't gather it

Over the wicket, thumped hard into the surface on middle, worked into the leg side off the backfoot

Tad short and plugging away in the corridor, tempted to chase it as he tries to steer it out, unable to lay bat on it. Probing stuff from Shaheen, bowling with better control

Hits a slightly shoter length and the ball nips away a fraction, jams the bat down and gets beaten on the outside edge
