Dubai International Stadium: The 2025 Asia Cup clash between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been delayed by an hour, with the match now set to begin at 7:30 PM local time (9:00 PM IST) at the Dubai International Stadium.

The toss will take place at 7:00 PM local (8:30 PM IST), tournament organisers confirmed on Monday evening after the Pakistan team caused drama by initially refusing to take the team bus to travel to the stadium.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chair Mohsin Naqvi later wrote on social media: “We have asked the Pakistan team to depart for the Dubai Cricket Stadium. Further details to follow.”
