After defeats against Qatar and Kuwait already in the tournament, Bahrain are still searching for their first victory of the campaign in this match. They will need to produce far more quality in this game after being beaten by Kuwait with 37 balls remaining.
Bahrain are desperate for their top order batters to deliver more and there were encouraging signs from the opening pair of skipper Umer Toor and Imran Ali who took the score to 42 before the first wicket in the last match. Rizwan Butt hit four sixes in his unbeaten 13-ball innings from number eight against Kuwait.
After taking only 10 wickets across the tournament so far, the bowling unit will be wondering if they need to change their approach when they bowl at Saudi Arabia in this clash. Opening bowler Ali Dawood picked up the only two wickets in their last game.
Bahrain have lost three in a row and four of their last five T20Is.

After losing to Kuwait by 5 wickets with 9 balls remaining in Match 1, Saudi Arabia were beaten once more on Sunday evening as UAE won by 8 wickets with 34 balls remaining. However, they are up against another winless team in this match and do have some players in good form.
Saudi Arabia’s batting has been consistent in both games so far with nine wickets falling and one of their openers producing the top score. If the team is to be competitive in this match, Saudi Arabia need either Abdul Waheed and Faisal Khan to both produce a large score or someone else to also deliver.
The bowling unit for Saudi Arabia have taken only 7 wickets so far in the tournament and were disappointing on Sunday evening as UAE got home with only 2 wickets down. Zain Ul Abidin took both the wickets against UAE and his spin will be hard to face in this match.
Saudi Arabia came into this tournament after winning two T20Is in a row but they have now lost two on the bounce.
Abdul Waheed, Faisal Khan, Kashif Abbas, Saad Khan, Abdul Manan Ali, Hisham Sheikh (c), Mohsin Shabbir, Zain Ul Abidin, Atif Ur Rehman, Sarfraz Butt (wk), Ishtiaq Ahmad
With both teams coming into this game with two defeats from two matches, one of them will get their first win of the campaign. Neither side has much depth in their batting but we think Saudi Arabia’s batting line-up is a little stronger. We are backing Saudi Arabia to win.
