Bangladesh are favourites to win
UAE and Bangladesh begin their two-match IT20 series on Sunday evening in Dubai at the International Cricket Stadium. UAE lost to Hong Kong by eight wickets in their last IT20. Bangladesh have lost their last three fixtures in this format. Read on as we preview this match. The opening game of the series gets underway in Dubai at 18:00 local time.
UAE have nothing to lose in this clash but plenty to gain. Bangladesh often play their best cricket against associate nations but often give the opposition a chance.
Although Bangladesh have chopped and changed their team over the last 12 months and suffered many defeats, they will come into this fixture with plenty of confidence and will expect to beat the UAE.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on ZBC in Zimbabwe and Gazi TV in Bangladesh.

The pitch is often conducive to good batting and there can be a temptation to bat first in Dubai. However, with humidity levels rising in the evening, we expect both skippers to choose to field first.
There will be good carry and pace in the pitch at this venue. Expect the spinners to also get bounce from a hard wicket with a par score over 150.
Very little chance of rain with the temperature up at 32 degrees throughout this game. Humidity will rise to higher than 80% by the end of the game.

The UAE have improved considerably as an associate cricket nation over the last decade. This series will provide some excellent opportunities for their players to get up to speed ahead of featuring in the 2022 World Cup in Australia next month.
UAE have had a good 2022 in this format but could not peak at the right time to qualify for the 2022 Asia Cup.

Muhammad Waseem, Chirag Suri, Vritiya Aravind (wk), CP Rizwan (c), Aryan Lakra, Basil Hameed, Zawar Farid, Kashif Daud, Junaid Siddique, Sultan Ahmed, Karthik Meiyappan
After all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan captained the team during the 2022 Asia Cup, it will be Nurul Hasan, returning from injury, who will lead the side in this series. Shakib is remaining at the Caribbean Premier League with Guayan Amazon Warriors and will join up with Bangladesh after this series.
Bangladesh have struggled against the stronger teams in this format for most of the last 12 months since the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mosaddek Hossain Sabbir Rahman, Nurul Hasan (c) (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Shoriful Islam
Bangladesh won by 51 runs in the only previous meeting between the sides. Mahmudullah took the Player of the Match Award after hitting 36 not out and taking 2-5 in the clash during the 2016 Asia Cup.

In spite of a very disappointing 2022 Asia Cup display from Bangladesh, they are strong favourites to win this opening game of the series.

Even without some of their biggest name experienced players, Bangladesh still have far more experience in IT20s. A victory for UAE would be one of their greatest wins in their history.
Our batting tips are Waseem Muhammad, Vritiya Avanind and Chirag Suri for UAE. Avanind has a top score of 97 not out in this format.
Litton Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Sabbir Rahman are our batting recommendations for Bangladesh. Rahman has played 45 IT20s and has a top score of 80.
Our bowling selections are Karkit Palaniappan, Zahoor Khan and Junaid Siddique for UAE. Siddique has 29 wickets from 24 IT20 appearances.
Mustafizur Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mohammad Saifuddin are our bowling choices for Bangladesh. Saifuddin has 73 international wickets since making his debut in 2017.
Bangladesh are not expected to have successful T20 World Cup tournaments in Australia later this year and this series will give them an opportunity to build some momentum in familiar conditions. UAE will certainly have some strong moments in the match but we are backing Bangladesh to win.
