Pakistan will look to fine-tune their game ahead of the high-profile Asia Cup clash against defending champions India when they face minnows Oman in their opening Group A match here on Friday.
Pakistan entered the tournament on the back of a strong performance, winning the T20 tri-series by beating Afghanistan by 75 runs in the final.
Ranked eighth globally, Pakistan will aim to gain valuable experience before their high-voltage meeting with arch-rivals India. The slow and sluggish pitches in the UAE prompted Pakistan to include spinners in the squad, a strategy that paid off during the tri-series and will be crucial in the Asia Cup.
Oman, making their Asia Cup debut, enter the contest with little pressure but big dreams. Most players balance cricket with desk jobs, underscoring their unique journey.
