Pakistan in their very first match of the tournament against rivalry team India has crumbled down making a very low total of 83 runs to be chased by the opponent. India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in hand. The beginning for the Pakistan team has not been good. Though their batsman has disappointed their fans a lot but the bowlers were the highlights of their team, specially Mohammed Amir whose devastating spell made it hard to India for an easy win.
UAE had lost their both matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the tournament till now. The team is doing well in bowling but need to work in batting department.
