Where: P Sara Oval, Colombo
Pitch Report: The pitch at Colombo’s P Sara Oval is typically conducive to spin bowling. In all ODIs played at this venue, the average first innings score has ranged between 180 to 190.

Team Preview:
Pakistan A: Pakistan A started their campaign in the tournament on a winning note by defeating Nepal by four wickets. The young team showcased their potential by successfully chasing down a target of 180 runs set by Nepal in just 33 overs. Middle-order batsman Tayyab Tahir was the top-scorer with 51 runs, while the bowling duo of Mohammad Wasim Jr and Shahnawaz Dahani combined to take nine wickets. A triumph over UAE A in the upcoming match would position Pakistan A in the running for the top spot in Group B, along with the Indian emerging team.
United Arab Emirates A: In their first Group B match of the tournament, United Arab Emirates A suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of India A. Despite batting out their full quota of 50 overs, UAE A only managed to post 175 runs on the board. Opener Aryansh Sharma, captain Ashwanth Chidambaram, and all-rounder Mohammed Faraazuddin were the only ones who made notable contributions to the team’s innings. The UAE A bowlers failed to contain the strong Indian top-order, who chased down the target in just 27 overs, resulting in a significant dent in UAE A’s net run-rate. To qualify for the semi-finals, UAE A must strive for comprehensive victories to compensate for the early setback.
