After not playing any T20I cricket since December of last year, it may take a few balls for all of Qatar’s players to get going in this match. Their last game saw them thrash Singapore and we expect Muhammad Murad’s side to be one of the top teams as hosts in this tournament.
Skipper Murad is a hard-hitting left-handed batter and we expect him to come in near the top of the order and look to take the attack to the Bahrain bowlers. Imal Liyanage is small in stature but is recognised as a good technical player who has hit three T20I half-centuries.
With their two leading wicket takers from their last T20I match not in the squad for this game, the title of the leader of the attack for Qatar is still up for grabs. Captain Murad continues to be a threat with the ball in hand and Liyanage will enjoy the pace on offer from this pitch.
Qatar are looking to extend their unbeaten run in this format to three matches in this game.
Adnan Mirza, Jassim Khan, Saqlain Arshad, MM Baig, Muhammad Ikramullah, Amir Farooq, Muhammad Tanveer, I Liyanage (wk), Muhammad Jabir Ajmir Khan, Muhammad Murad (C), Bipin Kumar
After finishing in fourth place in the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series back in March, Bahrain need to up their recent levels of performance if they are to be a contender for this tournament. Umer Toor will be the skipper for Bahrain in this competition.
Pakistan born right-handed 28 year old Sohail Ahmed comes into this match in strong form after hitting 46 against Singapore and 34 against Kuwait in longer format games in mid-April. Imran Anwar has a top score of 87 in this format and is an experienced batter.
Not only do we expect Rizwan Butt to be a threat with the ball in hand during this game but also to be one of the top bowlers in the tournament. Alongside Butt, Imran Anwar’s left-arm angle is expected to cause problems to some of Qatar’s batters.
Bahrain have been beaten in three of the last four T20Is.
Fiaz Ahmed, Haider Ali Butt (C), Ali Dawood, Y Nazir, Imran Javed, Muhammad Rizwan Butt, Imran Ali BUtt, Sohail Ahmed (wk), Junaid Aziz, S Veerapathiran, Abdul Majid
This looks set to be a close contest between two teams who will enjoy the surface and conditions in Doha. Qatar are over-reliant on Imal Liyanage and we expect this to be an issue as the game goes on. Overall, our prediction is for Bahrain to win.
