India A vs UAE Live Rating, Asia Cup 2025 Rising Stars: Hello and a really warm welcome to News18 CricketNext’s live coverage of the second match in Group B of the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025. It’s India A taking up the UAE on the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha.
For India, it’s the proper opportunity to check the depth. Jitesh Sharma is leading a team filled with IPL stars, including 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who all have some extent to prove. A pair of fine performances on this tournament could help them make a case for the 2026 T20 World Cup. For the UAE, that is the prospect to overturn their poor form in familiar conditions and gain further experience to challenge the large guns.
