Pakistan National Cricket Team vs. UAE National Cricket Team Match Scorecard — quick heads-up and where to catch the action : the recent Pakistan A vs UAE T20 in the ACC Rising Stars was played on 18 November 2025 (Doha) and finished in a blink — Pakistan A chased 61 in 5.2 overs.

Fast Recap of the Scorecard Details
The full scorecard from the ACC Rising Stars match at West End Park (Doha) shows UAE 59 all out in 18 overs ; Pakistan A reached 61/1 in just 5.2 overs. Maaz Sadaqat won Player of the Match after an eye – popping 37* off 15 balls (strike rate 246.67) while Ghazi Ghori was unbeaten on 16 off 12. On the UAE side Syed Haider top scored with 20 off 19 ; the rest of their batting collapsed. Bowling highlights : Sufiyan Muqeem grabbed 3/12 in four overs, Maaz Sadaqat returned 2/19, and Ahmed Daniyal picked up 2 as well — tidy, disciplined bowling that kept scoring down. The scorecard and ball-by-ball confirm the low scoring and quick chase.
Top Order Failure and Mounting Pressure
Looking beyond the headline numbers : UAE’s openers fell cheaply (Alishan Sharafu out for 3, Ahmed Tariq a duck), and while Syed Haider gave a brief fight, partnerships never grew. The scoreboard shows nine extras (mostly wides) which, in such a tiny total, are meaningful. UAE’s innings had several small stands and wickets at regular intervals (fall of wickets shows pressure from early overs) — that pattern makes chasing or even posting a defendable total very hard in T20. Pakistan’s bowlers were economical (runs per over in single digits) and picked wickets at regular intervals to strangle building momentum.
Strike Rates, Overs, and Match Impact
Numbers to watch : Maaz Sadaqat’s 37* off 15 = SR 246.7 (huge in context), Ghazi Ghori’s cameo 16 off 12 kept the chase calm. On UAE side Syed Haider’s 20 from 19 showed intent but lacked support. Bowling economy leaders : Sufiyan Muqeem 4 – 0 – 12 – 3 (Econ 3.00), Ahmed Daniyal 3 – 0 – 7 – 2 (Econ 2.30), Maaz Sadaqat with useful 4 – 0 – 19 – 2. Those bowling economies tell the real story — when bowlers limit run flow and pick wickets, 60 becomes defendable. These per – player figures are straight from the match scorecard.
Pakistan’s Dominance and the Performance Gap
At senior international level, Pakistan have held the upper hand vs UAE across formats — head – to – head records show Pakistan winning the majority of meetings in ODIs and T20s, with UAE still searching for a breakthrough at the big stage. That gap shows in series results and top individual records (Pakistan batsmen have posted the heavier scores historically). The recent Rising Stars clash is consistent with that pattern: Pakistan’s bench/development side still looks sharper on batting depth and cleaner bowling through the middle overs.
