After a 19 run (DLS) defeat to Qatar in Match 2 on Thursday evening in Doha, Bahrain will come into this match still looking for their first victory of the tournament. However, overall, it was not a poor performance from Bahrain and they can take confidence from their display in Match 2.
Bahrain’s top order will need to deliver more runs in this game then they managed against Qatar after only one of their top five made a double-figure score. Opener and skipper Umer Toor will want to make an impression against Kuwait after lasting only 7 balls in the first game.
Bahrain’s bowling attack will come into this game with some confidence as only Rizwan Butt and Imran Anwar went wicketless in Match 2. Left-arm spinner Abdul Majid was very impressive against Qatar and he will look to produce similar figures to his 2-11 from 4 overs in this match.
Bahrain have lost four of their last five T20Is although their only win during this run came against Kuwait.
Umer Toor (c), Abdul Majid Abbasi, Imran Ali Butt (wk), Haider Butt, Imran Anwar, Rizwan Butt, Ali Dawood, Ahmer Bin Nasir, Mohsin Zaki, Yasser Nazir, Sathaiya Veerapathiran
Confidence in the camp will be very high for Mohammed Aslam’s side ahead of this match after they comfortably beat Saudi Arabia by 5 wickets with 9 balls remaining on Friday. Kuwait will be looking to build on a very impressive showing with both bat and ball.
Opener Ravija Sandaruwan hit a half-century on this pitch on Friday and he will be looking to outdo his return of three sixes and three fours when he comes up against Bahrain’s bowling attack. Adnan Idrees will play in a very attacking manner at the top of the order in this game.
After using seven bowlers against Saudi Arabia, and five of them picking up wickets, Mohammad Aslam will know that he has plenty of bowling options in good form ahead of this match. Aslam and Adnan Idrees both come into this fixture after taking 2 wickets in the last fixture.
Kuwait are looking for their third successive win after victories by 6 wickets and 5 wicket in their last two games.
Mohammed Aslam (c), Adnan Idrees, Usman Patel (wk), Ahsan ul Haq, Yasin Patel, Ravija Sandaruwan, Meet Bhavsar, Shiraz Khan, Parvindar Kumar, Shahrukh Quddus, Sayed Monib
Although Bahrain are bottom of the table after the first round of matches, it is still early days in the tournament and there is plenty of time for them to climb up the league. However, they are up against a very strong Kuwait side with a talented bowling attack in this match. Our prediction is for Kuwait to get the win in this clash.
