Toss Pakistan chose to bat against UAE

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first in what is their last group game. A victory tonight would ensure safe passage to the final for Salman Agha's side. They made two changes to the team that lost to Afghanistan on Tuesday, with Salman Mirza and Abrar Ahmed coming in for Haris Rauf and Sufiyan Muqeem.
