Qatar Team News & Playing 11
QAT Team News
Iqbal Hussain will be leading Qatar's 14-man squad. Imal Liyanage and Kamran Khan are likely to open the batting while Muhammad Tanveer and Zaheer Ibrahim will bat at their usual number three and four positions respectively. With the ball, Gayan Munaweera will partner Awais Malik who will be spearheading the team's bowling attack.
QAT Key Players
Muhammad Tanveer: He is the leading run-getter for Qatar in T20Is and has hit four half-centuries in the format. Tanveer had topped the runs chart with 105 runs in the previous home series against Jersey.
Kamran Khan: After a string of underwhelming performances with the bat, Kamran Khan seems to have returned to form. The opener blasted 50 off 35 balls in the first T20I to help his team post a match-winning total.
Iqbal Hussain: The skipper is the team's most successful bowler in the twenty-over format having picked 26 wickets in 15 matches. He will be expected to lead from the front and provide early breakthroughs in the powerplay.
QAT Recent Form
Qatar have been doing fairly well in the shortest format of the game. They have come into this series against Uganda on the back of an impressive 3-0 win over Jersey in the home series that was played last year in October. All the three matches were played at this ground with the hosts recording convincing victories in each of them. Prior to that, Qatar had played the 2019 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Region Final held in Singapore where they finished with two wins and as many losses from their four encounters.

Uganda Team News & Playing 11
UGA Team News
Uganda will be led by Arnold Otwani. The skipper along with Roger Mukasa and Zephania Arinaitwe form the team's top-order batting while Deusdedit Muhumuza, Frank Akankwasa and Fred Achelam make up the middle order. We expect the visitors to go into this game with an unchanged eleven despite facing defeat in the series opener.
UGA Key Players
Roger Mukasa: The wicketkeeper has been one of the key batsmen for Uganda at the top of the order. He has scored the most runs for the team in the shortest format and is one of the very few batsmen to have hit a fifty.
Frank Nsubuga: His ability to make decent contributions with both bat and ball makes him a valuable player. Nsubuga has taken 20 wickets in 28 T20Is with his off-spin and he will certainly have a big role to play in this match.
Charles Waiswa: He will pose the biggest threat with the ball to Qatar's batting line-up. The left-arm pacer is Uganda's best bowler in this format and he even took a four-wicket haul against Kenya in last year's T20 World Cup Africa Region Final.
UGA Recent Form
Uganda have not been consistent enough as far as the T20 format is concerned. They hosted the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Region Final last year in the month of May before arriving in Qatar for this T20I series. They played a total of four matches in that tournament out of which they won two and lost two. Uganda beat Botswana by 52 runs in their opening game but suffered back-to-back defeats against Namibia and Kenya. They then secured a comfortable victory over Ghana before their last match against Nigeria ended in a washout.
Uganda Predicted Playing 11
Roger Mukasa, Zephania Arinaitwe, Arnold Otwani (c), Kenneth Waiswa, Deusdedit Muhumuza, Frank Akankwasa, Fred Achelam (wk), Trevor Bukenya, Charles Waiswa, Henry Ssenyondo, Frank Nsubuga
Qatar vs Uganda Head to Head
On Wednesday, the two nations faced each other for the very first time in the history of T20I cricket. Put into bat first, Qatar posted a massive total of 201 on the board before keeping Uganda to 161 and sealing a comfortable 40-run win to go 1-0 up in the three-match series.
Qatar vs Uganda Betting Odds
Qatar, after their impressive all-round display in the opening match, enter the second T20I as hot favorites to win at short odds of 1.25 with Bet365. Uganda find themselves as huge underdogs with the bookmaker at a much higher price of 3.75.
🏆 Qatar vs Uganda Prediction
Uganda's performances in the game's shortest format have been ordinary at best in recent times and they don't seem to have enough depth in their batting line-up. Qatar have the advantage of playing in their home conditions and they have been performing much better in T20Is as compared to Uganda. The hosts look superior in all departments and are favorites to win this match.
