This will be Kuwait’s first T20I match since they beat Bahrain by 6 wickets with 11 balls remaining to claim third place in the Quadrangular Twenty20 series in March. All-rounder Mohammed Aslam will lead the team across all games in this tournament.
19 year old left-hander, Meet Bhavsar comes into this match with a growing reputation and is said to be a player to watch. Although he has made a duck in two of his last three one-dayers, he has a top score of 71 in this format. Alongside Ravija Sandaruwan, we expect the pair to produce the majority of the runs for Kuwait.
Shahrukh Quddus and Sayed Monib both picked up 2-wicket hauls in the win over Bahrain. Quddus will get good bounce from this surface with the experienced Monib expected to be slightly more consistent with his line and length. Yasin Patel and Shiraz Khan should both get turn for their spin bowling.
Kuwait come into this game looking to make it two wins in a row in this format although they have lost three from their last four.
R Sandaruwan (C), Adnan Idrees, Clinto Velookkara Anto, Ilyas Ahmed, Shahrukh Quddus, Bilal Tahir, Shiraz Khan, Usman Ghani, Meet Bhavsar (wk), Mohammed Shafeeq, Sayed Monib
Unlike their opponents, Saudi Arabia have not played this format during 2023 with their last games both coming against Bahrain in the 2022 Desert Cup T20I Series. Batting all-rounder Hisham Sheikh will captain Saudi Arabia in this match.
With a reputation for hitting runs at a very quick strike-rate in this format, 26 year old Faisal Khan is likely to be a dangerous batter for Saudi Arabia and will be looking to beat his highest T20I score of 83 not out. Skipper Sheikh is a consistent run scorer for his country.
Although they have some talented spin bowlers in their squad, we expect the twin-pace attack of Usman Najeeb and Ishtiaq Ahmad to trouble the Kuwait batters in this game. Both players have food experience and will enjoy the pace on offer in this match.
Saudi Arabia come into this match looking to secure their third successive T20I victory.
Kashif Abbas, Abdul Waheed Ghaffar (C), Usman Najeeb, Hisham Sheikh, Saad Khan-II, Faisal Khan, Abdul Wahid, Haseeb Ghafoor (wk), Ishtiaq Ahmad, Zain-ul-Abidin, Atif-Ur-Rehman
There is plenty of excitement around this year’s Gulf Cricket T20I Championship and we expect a good contest to begin the tournament. Our prediction is for Saudi Arabia’s batters to be too strong and for them to get off to a winning start.
