In the 4th match of the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024, India-A and Pakistan-A will face off at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1).
This highly anticipated encounter marks the tournament opener for both sides, and cricket fans know well the intense rivalry and excitement that accompany any India vs. Pakistan clash. Both teams are placed in Group B, adding further significance to the outcome of this match.
What makes this contest even more crucial is the context of the previous edition, where Pakistan-A defeated India-A by a commanding 128-run margin in the final. With that memory still fresh, India-A will be eager for redemption, while Pakistan-A will look to maintain their dominance.

Al Amerat Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The pitch at Al Amerat Cricket Ground is expected to be favorable for the batters, offering conditions they can capitalize on, particularly in the early stages of the game. Fast bowlers, however, may find limited assistance from the surface. As the match progresses, the pitch is likely to wear down, bringing spinners into the spotlight. Spin bowling will become increasingly important, especially during the second innings, where the turn on offer could play a decisive role in the outcome of the game.
