Bowlers: Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Hasan Ali, Salman Mirza, Sufiyan Muqeem

Strengths: With Mohammad Wasim Jr., Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan has a top-tier pace attack.  All-rounders like Mohammad Nawaz and Faheem Ashraf offer excellent balance, while their top order, which is led by Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman, is explosive.

Concerns: It has frequently been difficult to deal with middle-order inconsistency.  Pakistan will try not to depend too much on the top order.

Batters: Jatinder Singh (c), Aamir Kaleem, Hammad Mirza, Ashish Odedara

All-Rounders: Mohammad Nadeem, Sufyan Mehmood, Shakeel Ahmed, Karan Sonavale, Nadeem Khan

Wicket-Keeper Batter: Vinayak Shukla (wk)

Strengths: At the top, Oman mainly depends on captain Jatinder Singh, who is assisted by seasoned all-rounders Sufyan Mehmood and Mohammad Nadeem.  When facing Pakistan's aggressive batters, their spin options might be very important.

Concerns: Oman's inexperienced batting lineup will be tested against Pakistan's strong pace attack.

Key Player Battles

1. Shaheen Afridi vs Jatinder Singh – Pakistan’s strike bowler against Oman’s most experienced batter will be a vital contest in the powerplay.
2. Fakhar Zaman vs Oman Spinners – Fakhar’s aggressive approach could put pressure on Oman’s spin attack, but early breakthroughs may turn things around.
3. Haris Rauf vs Vinayak Shukla – Oman’s wicketkeeper-batter will have to deal with Rauf’s express pace and variations in the middle overs.
4. Mohammad Nawaz vs Oman’s Middle Order – Nawaz’s left-arm spin will be key against Oman’s right-handed batters on a Dubai surface that assists turn.
