Who will win Netherlands vs United Arab Emirates, 2nd T20?
The Netherlands and the UAE return to Amstelveen with the tourists leading this four-game series 1-0 after the first match. Taking place at the VRA Cricket Ground, the second match takes place on August 5 and the live action begins at 16:00.
Ashfaq Ahmed’s half-century helped the UAE to victory in the opening game, after the tourists batted well against an inexperienced Dutch bowling attack.

NED vs UAE Toss Prediction
The Dutch won the toss in the first match and may regret their decision to field first. The UAE, should they win the toss themselves this time, would probably be quite happy to bat first again.
NED vs UAE Weather Report
Conditions should be similar to the first game, though there may be a little more wind in Amstelveen. Nevertheless, prospects of rain are low and it should be warm and cloudy.
NED vs UAE Pitch Condition
The Amstelveen pitch lived up to its reputation as a batting wicket last time out and there is no reason to think this will be any different.

Netherlands Team News & Playing 11
NED Team News
Tonny Staal made his T20 international debut last time out in an inexperienced Dutch team. Stef Myburgh returned at the top of the order, while Phililipe Boissevain and Sebastiaan Braat were the two unused players.
NED Key Players
Pieter Seelaar: Bowled economically against the UAE last time, as he has throughout his T20i career, to claim 1-20 from four overs. He is also unbeaten with the bat in his last three innings, having been nine not out most recently.
Stef Myburgh: Unable to replicate his best batting form last time out but the big-hitting batsman’s return to the Dutch team is undoubtedly a huge bonus after injury ruled him out against Zimbabwe.
Max O’Dowd: Continued his good batting form from the Zimbabwe series by top-scoring with 51 from 35 balls in the first match of this series. The opener has been injecting some real impetus into the Dutch team’s recent innings.
NED Team Form
The Dutch came into this series on the back of a win and a defeat (in a super over) against Zimbabwe. That was a more experienced side, however, and this less experienced set-up conceded 181/5 in the first game of this series and finished 168/4 in reply.
Netherlands Predicted Playing 11
Stef Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Ben Cooper, Antonius Staal, Scott Edwards (wk), Pieter Seelaar (c), Saqib Zulfiqur, Vivian Kingma, Hidde Overdijk, Brandon Glover, Sikander Zulfiqar
UAE Team News & Playing 11
UAE Team News
Darius D’Silva made his T20 international debut last time out. Qadeer Ahmed, Waheed Ahmed and Zawar Farid were the three players to miss out. The UAE could be unchanged for this second game.
UAE Key Players
Rohan Mustafa: Fell short with the bat, but the all-rounder was back in the wickets again with 2-26 in the Dutch innings. Those wickets were Cooper and Edwards, just as both men looked settled.
Ashfaq Ahmed: Set the tone at the top of the order, hitting 11 fours in his 35-ball innings of 54. It ended a run of poor scores and could be a platform for the experienced batsman to build from.
Muhammad Usman: Continued his good batting form as he scored 52 in the first game, following innings of 49 and 27 to conclude the ODI series with Zimbabwe. It was the left-hander’s second T20i half-century.
UAE Team Form
After beating the USA in March, the first match of this series was the UAE’s first T20 international since. Half-centuries from Ashfaq Ahmed and Muhammad Usman led them to 181/5 at Amstelveen before Rohan Mustafa’s 2-26 helped them restrict the Dutch to 168/4.
UAE Predicted Playing 11
Ashfaq Ahmed, Rohan Mustafa, Muhammad Usman, Rameez Shahzad, Mohammad Boota, Ghulam Shabber (wk), Mohammad Naveed (c), Ahmed Raza, Darius D’Silva, Sultan Ahmed, Zahoor Khan
