Hymns
The Pakistani national anthem is played first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The Indian anthem is played below.
Pakistan Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan’s openers go to the fold.
Dawn Umaid Wasim Analysis: Pakistan wanted to hit first and establish a total above the pair. India wanted to play first. Both parties will be quite happy with the result of the launch. Pakistan, however, faces a turning test. The launch is the same as for the Opening Party of India against the EAU. The captain of India, Suyakumar Yadav, said in the draw that the batting became easier in the second stanza of the Eau game, and perhaps that is why he wanted his team to be hitting second.
A Cricket match from India-Pakistan is always a box office success, but emotions will work even more in the today’s Cup clash among the neighbors with nuclear weapons, who participated in a four-day military conflict earlier this year.
Even before the clashes in May, which almost became a complete war, bilateral Crick ties had been suspended. The archirrival now only play with each other in tournaments of multiple teams.
Political relations have deteriorated even more since the confrontations, with several former Indian players urging the Cricket Control Board in India to boycott what will be the first meeting between the teams from recent hostilities.
Pakistan’s captain, Salman Ali Agha, speaking in the draw, said: “We are very excited by the game.”
According to the captain, Pakistan’s justification behind the batting is that the surface seems to be on the slowest side.
His Indian counterpart, Suryakumar Yadav, said this team was anxious for this game.
Both teams have not changed since their last matches in the tournament.
Pakistan’s batter, Saim Ayub, said on Saturday that the team was not only focusing on the Pakistan-India match, but won the Male Asia Cup.
While the reigning of T20 World Champions India are the firm favorites to retain its title, Pakistan is at the top, since it has defeated Afghanistan convincingly to win the final of a series of Tri and Oman in the period prior to the contest.
The two teams faced for the last time in February, at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in the ODI format.
The eight -nations T20 tournament began on Tuesday with Afghanistan hitting Hong Kong for 94 races. India crushed the hosts, the EAU, for nine WICKETS on Wednesday.
Pakistan, India, Oman and Eau are in Group A, while Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Bangladesh Form Group B.
The two best teams in each group will qualify for the Super Four stage.
The two best teams will play the final of September 28 in Dubai.

Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Ali Agha (Captain), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sufiyan Muqeem and Ahmed Ahmed.
