Our Prediction
Sri Lanka
Defending champions Sri Lanka will begin their Asia Cup 2016 campaign by taking on the United Arab Emirates in the second T20 match of the tournament. The two teams will go head-to-head on February 25 (Thursday) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. Live action is scheduled to commence at 1:30 PM GMT.
Sri Lanka will take this match as an opportunity to fine-tune their squad before facing the tougher teams like India and Pakistan ahead in the tournament. The return of Lasith Malinga, their regular captain in T20 format, will boost the team's morale. On the other hand, UAE are playing good cricket at the moment, storming through the qualifying rounds with three successive victories. It will be interesting to see whether the Lankan Lions are going to chew their inexperienced opponents or does UAE have what it takes to stage an early upset in this year's Asia Cup.
Read through the following sections to find out the players you can consider for wagering on in the Sri Lanka vs UAE Asia Cup 2016...
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
With skipper Malinga, opener Tillakaratne Dilshan, Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal and all-rounder Angelo Mathews all back in the side, Sri Lanka look like a very challenging team to beat in the Asia Cup. The return of the seasoned players will bring more strength and sharpness to their batting and bowling which was found lacking in the recent T20 series in India. Their humiliating defeats by the hands of India in the last two T20 games will not have much of an impact on their confidence going into the Asia Cup as they had sent a second-string team to the sub-continent.
Coming to player performances, Thisara Perera with his big-hitting and wicket-taking ability has proved himself to be a valuable T20 player. His good all-round performance of late makes him a match-winner in this format of the game and a great option to put money on. Another player to be considered is Dushmantha Chameera who showed a glimpse of what he is capable of in the recent series against India. He is apparently the fastest bowler in the team.
UAE Team News & Playing 11
UAE are stepping into the competition with three back-to-back wins in the qualifying stage. Trumping teams like Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Oman, they have made a place for themselves in the tournament. Their best performance in the Asia Cup goes back to the group stages of the 2004 and 2008 editions. The Amjad Javed-led UAE team are hopeful of continuing their winning streak and ruin Sri Lanka's party on Thursday.
As far as wagering money is concerned, it is UAE's recently appointed captain Amjad Javed who is worth a shot. His presence brings a lot of energy in the side and his all-round performances have won quite a few games for UAE in recent times. Newcomer Mohammed Usman with a well compiled 22 ball 46 was the man of the match in the previous game against Oman. The left-handed batsman provides stability to the middle order and is gifted with the ability of timing the ball well and finding open spaces in the field.
Final Prediction
UAE performed really well in the qualifiers and the players are all charged up to face a strong Sri Lanka team in their first match of the main event. But the competition will only get tougher from here on and challenging the five-time winners and the current title holders won't be easy at all. It is true that the T20 format has surprisingly seen the lesser teams emerge victorious in the past. But if Sri Lanka play to their standard and given the fact that miracles don't happen every now and then, it should be a walk in the park for them. It's pretty much a one-sided affair with Sri Lanka being the firm favorites to win the 2nd match of the Asia Cup against UAE.
Betting odds for Sri Lanka vs UAE Asia Cup 2016 2nd Match:
Sri Lanka - 1.13 ; UAE - 5.3
