Exactly for Pakistan this match is vital test for their reserve players and opportunity for their younger players to show their talent. Slow pitch in Dubai is good for them especially because of their strong spin bowlers. Winning this game would give them confidence they need before their big match against India. And that is right this is historic and huge learning experience for Oman. Playing against top team like Pakistan on big stage will be challenge but it is also great chance for them to show what they can do and get experience at highest level.
I am not expecting anything testing for Pakistan from this game because I have strong feeling this is going to be practice game for them before big games which are coming on 14th September against India and then in Super four where they will meet from these teams Afghanistan, Sri Lanka/Bangladesh.
They needed to be had good strategy for them because now competition is not easy at the top of Asia where four teams are on same level behind India which is now superpower due to their consistency and quality good thing fans will be able to have good cricket in Super Four because top teams will play against each other for the spot into final.
