UAE are favorites to win
Saudi Arabia will take on UAE at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium, Doha. This T20I gets underway at 20:30 local time on Sunday 17th September, 2023.
As there is good pace in this wicket, the slow bowlers are able to control the scoring. Whoever bats first will need to make over 150 to be competitive.

Overall, Hisham Sheikh’s team will have been disappointed by their showing against Kuwait in their opener in Match 1. Not only did they lose the game but very few of the Saudi Arabia players but in a good performance. Sheikh will need more players to stand up against UAE.
Only four of Saudi Arabia’s batters made double figure scores in Match 1 and it was opener Faisal Khan who led the way with nine fours and one six in his 62 runs from 42 balls. Zain ul Abidin could well move up the order in this match after hitting two sixes from his 12 ball innings against Kuwait.
Hisham Sheikh, Zain Ul Abidin and Ishtiaq Ahmad all took a wicket each in the opening match but even those three players will want to put in stronger individual showings in this game. UAE have some talented batters and the bowling from Saudi Arabia needs to be more accurate on Sunday.
Saudi Arabia have lost three of their last five T20I matches.
Faisal Khan, Hisham Sheikh (c), Abdul Waheed, Mohsin Shabbir, Atif Ur Rehman, Sarfraz Butt (wk), Usman Najeeb, Saad Khan, Abdul Manan Ali, Ishtiaq Ahmad, Zain Ul Abidin
It was a winning start in the competition for UAE over Oman on Saturday, a result which tallied with their recent impressive form in this format. They will fancy their chances of making it two wins from two and taking a place at the top of the table.
Bowling attacks will very rarely have an easy match against this UAE batting line-up who not only have big hitters at the top of the order but have plenty of batting depth throughout their side. Saudi Arabia’s bowlers will have to be very accurate to keep the runs down in this match.
With Zahoor Khan the only bowler to go wicketless from UAE’s five man attack against Oman, Saudi Arabia’s batters can expect to be up against a very confident bowling unit in this game. Ali Naseer will be looking to add to his 3 wickets already in the competition.
A win in this clash will mean that UAE have come out on top in three of their last four fixtures in this format.
Aryansh Sharma (wk), Muhammad Waseem (c), Vriitya Aravind, Asif Khan, Ansh Tandon, Basil Hameed, Ali Naseer, Aayan Afzal Khan, Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Jawadullah, Zahoor Khan
Over the last month, UAE have beaten New Zealand in this format and it would be no surprise if they are too strong for all of their opponents throughout this Gulf Cricket T20I Championship. They have real top players with both bat and ball and we are predicting another win for UAE in this match.
