BAN Vs UAE, Asia Cup 2016 - Betting Tips, Odds and Predictions

Their batsmen were left clueless against the Sri Lankan pace attack as Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara ripped the heart of their batting line-up. The only resistance came from the bat of Swapnil Patil who scored a resilient 37. Muhammad Usman is another UAE batsman to watch out for. With scores of 23 not-out, 41 and 46 in the qualifiers against Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Oman respectively, Usman is proving to be a good find for the UAE and someone worth wagering on.

Their bowling was the biggest plus-point for them on the day before. The bowlers exceeded the expectations of all as they restricted the defending champions for 129/8 in the 20 overs. Skipper Amjad Javed, with an excellent spell of bowling, dismissed the top 3 Sri Lankan batsman and has high betting odds for today's match as well. Picking 2 wickets apiece, Mohammad Naveed and Mohammad Shahzad also managed to please their bowling coach and selectors.

Final Prediction:

Taking into account UAE's top-class bowling effort against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh cannot afford to take them lightly. While the hosts have now lost three T20 internationals on the trot, UAE have bagged three wins in the last four games they have played. Furthermore, the condensed version of cricket reduces the gap between the test playing nations and the associates. Just one over in T20 can change the entire course of the match. 

Having said that, no matter how well UAE have played to reach the main stage of the Asia Cup, a fourth win for them in the tournament and a fourth loss for the hosts seems an unlikely outcome. It remains to be seen how well the Emirati players can cope with the pressure of playing two back-to-back international matches. Also, a better understanding of the nature of the pitch at Sher-e-Bangla puts Bangladesh ahead of their opponents.

Betting odds for Bangladesh vs UAE Asia Cup 2016 3rd Match:
Bangladesh - 1.2 ; UAE - 5.8
