Who will win Netherlands vs United Arab Emirates, 3rd T20?
The United Arab Emirates can seal a T20I series win against an inexperienced Netherlands team when they meet in the third match of this four-game series. Taking place at the Sportpark Westvliet, Voorburg, the match is scheduled for August 6 and the live action begins at 16:00.
The UAE have won both matches so far, defending 181/5 after Ashfaq Ahmed’s half-century in the first game and then chasing 137 to win the second. Rohan Mustafa has led the bowling effort with five wickets so far, and one more win will wrap up a notable series success.
The Dutch have some experienced heads in their squad – Max O’Dowd top-scored in the first game and Ben Cooper in the second – but having left their T20 Blast and Global T20 Canada stars out, they have lacked the quality to overcome the UAE. Though a good learning experience, it is looking as though the result will be going against them.

Both teams won one toss in Amstelveen and elected to field first. If Pieter Seelaar wins the toss again this time out, he may choose to bat first in Voorburg.
NED vs UAE Weather Report
Though there could be some cloud about, and temperatures are a little cooler at 21 degrees Celsius, there is unlikely to be any rain. Prospects of play are very good.
NED vs UAE Pitch Condition
Relaid after trouble when it was first elevated to international status, Voorburg’s pitch has been truer since and the consistent bounce should favour batting.

Netherlands Team News & Playing 11
NED Team News
The Dutch selected a squad of 13 for this tournament and have used each of them already ,with T20i debuts for Tonny Staal, Sebastiaan Braat and Philippe Boissevain as a result.
NED Key Players
Ben Cooper: Another experienced head in this other inexperienced Dutch line-up, the batsman top-scored with 46 last time out, including the only six of the Netherlands’ innings.
Max O’Dowd: In good form ahead of this series, the opener started with a half-century and if he can fire again he can really set things up from the top of the order.
Philippe Boissevain: The 18-year-old leg-spinner returned figures of 1-19 from his four overs on debut to mark an excellent start to his T20 international career. He has only just finished playing at the European under-19 World T20 regional qualifier.
NED Team Form
After impressing against Zimbabwe in their most recent T20I series, the Netherlands are heading for a series defeat this time out. A young squad has lacked the quality to overcome the UAE, with not enough players standing up to deliver a star performance. Max O’Dowd hit 50 in the first game and Ben Cooper 46 in the second but, particularly in the second game, they lacked that extra bit of quality to support those efforts.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.

UAE Team News & Playing 11
UAE Team News
Waheed Ahmed replaced Darius D’Silva last time out for his T20I debut. Qadeer Ahmed and Zawar Farid are still waiting for their opportunity, but with one eye on the World Cup they will surely get one. Ahmed Raza could make way, having been wicketless so far.
UAE Key Players
Rohan Mustafa: Yet to get going with the bat, but the all-rounder has led their bowling so far. He took 2-26 in the first game and followed that with 3-27 last time out.
Zahoor Khan: Like Mustafa, he honed his skills at the Global T20 Canada, where he picked up six wickets, and his two bowling spells so far have brought 1-26 and 2-20 to continue the form he showed for Brampton Wolves.
Muhammad Usman: His last four innings for the UAE have brought 49, 27, 52 and 34. He shared a key partnership with Rameez Shahazad last time out, steadying the ship after the top three had fallen.
UAE Team Form
The United Arab Emirates have now won their last three T20 internationals. Victory against the USA preceded this series and two good performances against the Dutch have kept their momentum building. Ashfaq Ahmed and Muhammad Usman hit half-centuries in a 13-run win first up, while Rohan Mustafa has five wickets in the series after his 3-27 helped restrict the Dutch to 136/9 last time out. The UAE knocked them off with three balls and five wickets to spare.
UAE Predicted Playing 11
Ashfaq Ahmed, Rohan Mustafa, Muhammad Usman, Rameez Shahzad, Mohammad Boota, Ghulam Shabber (wk), Mohammad Naveed (c), Waheed Ahmed, Qadeer Ahmed, Sultan Ahmed, Zahoor Khan
