Kuwait pulled off a big upset against UAE in their tournament opener. They chased 173 to register a very impressive win. Batting first, UAE posted a healthy score of 177-5, courtesy of a brilliant 88 by Chirag Suri. The target looked way beyond the reach of Kuwait. However, R Sandaruwan (34), Meet Bhavsar (27), Usman Patel (19) and Edson Silva (25) took the team over the line.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong won the tournament opener against Singapore by 8 runs. They scored 148-9 in their 20 overs and later restricted Singapore to 140-7.
The wicket is very flat and in favour of the batters. The pacers will not get much help from this surface but the spinners might become threatening in the second innings of the match when the pitch loses some of its pace.
It will be a hot day with the temperature ranging between 37 to 28 degrees. As for the rain, rest assured that matches getting stopped due to rain in Al Amerat is very, very unlikely.
Meet Bhavsar, Ravija Sandaruwan, Adnan Idrees, Usman Patel (wk), Bilal Tahir, Mohammed Aslam (c), Shiraz Khan, Edson Silva, Yasin Patel, Sayed Monib, Mohamed Shafeeq
Nizakat Khan (c), Yasim Murtaza, Babar Hayat, Kinchit Shah, Aizaz Khan, Scott McKechnie (wk), Zeeshan Ali, Haroon Arshad, Ehsan Khan, Mohammad Ghazanfar, Ateeq Iqbal
Both teams won their last game and there is no reason why they should change their winning combination. They are most likely to play the same team.
This will be the first meeting between teams in T20Is
