Summary Pakistan and UAE will meet in a crunch match in the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament today.
MIRPUR (Dunya News) – Confident Pakistan players are all set to face United Arab Emirates (UAE) in sixth match of ongoing Asia Cup at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today (Monday).

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi can depress the competitor whereas UAE captain Amjad Javed can also give befitting response.
On bowling side, Pakistan’s energetic Mohammad Amir is ready to stun the Aaqib Javed’s team but the UAE have all the hopes with experienced Mohammad Naveed who has sent 19 players to pavilion in 12 T20 only.

UAE on the other hand had lost both their games in the Asia Cup, and will need a win here if they are to remain in the competition.
