UAE vs Ireland 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
Match 2 in the 2021 Summer T20 Bash sees The United Arab Emirates take on Ireland at the ICC Academy Ground on Thursday morning . The hosts were beaten in the opening game of the series on Tuesday, going down by 17 runs against Namibia. Ireland played a warm-up game on Tuesday and were beaten by Scotland by 5 wickets. This game begins at 09:00 local time.
UAE will have been disappointed to lose against Namibia on Tuesday but will be pleased to have an opportunity to test themselves against quality opposition again. On their day they can beat any of the sides in this series.
Ireland will need to put in a stronger performance than Tuesday’s against Scotland. They can put that result down to acclimatising and we expect to see a much more polished showing in this match.

UAE Team News & Playing 11
UAE Team News
The UAE gave debuts to two players ahead of the defeat to Namibia on Tuesday. They were all-rounder Kashif Daud who took 1-16 and hit 11 alongside Waseem Muhammad who top scored. This tournament is all about the team finding some form so we expect to see the same XI in this match.
UAE Key Players
- Waseem Muhammad - The debutant top scored, hit 5 boundaries and took 2-13 with the ball. Not a bad introduction to IT20 cricket.
- Zahoor Khan - The experienced pace bowler registered his first 4-wicket haul against Namibia and finished with figures of 4-29.
- Muhammad Usman - The veteran left-handed batsman impressed with his big hitting on Tuesday. He has 3 half-centuries to his name in IT20s.
Their run of five IT20 wins on the bounce was ended by Namibia on Tuesday. However, there were plenty of positives to take from the defeat.
UAE Predicted Playing 11
Chirag Suri, Waseem Muhammad, Rohan Mustafa, Basil Hameed, Muhammad Usman, Chundangapoyil Rizwan, Kashif Daud, Ahmed Raza (c), Sultan Ahmed, Vritiya Aravind (wk), Zahoor Khan
Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Ireland massively underperformed in their warm-up game against Scotland on Tuesday and will be looking to live up to their ranking of 12th in the world in this format, the highest of all the competitors in this series. They were careful to not overuse any of their bowlers against Scotland but we expect the key players to bowl 4 overs in this match.
IRE Key Players
- Paul Stirling - the opening batsman has an IT20 century to his name as well as 18 fifties. He averages 30.78 in this format.
- Curtis Campher - The South African born Irishman has had an impressive start to international cricket and is averaging 51.28 from 10 ODIs.
- Josh Little - The left arm pace bowler is still yet to turn 22 but has picked up 27 ODI and 17 IT20 wickets in his career so far.
Ireland beat Zimbabwe in a recent IT20 series and will be backing themselves to come on top of this game even as the away side.
Ireland Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Kevin O’Brien, Andy Balbirnie (c), Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Neil Rock (wk), Mark Adair, Andy McBrine, Graham Kennedy, Josh Little

🏆 UAE vs Ireland Prediction
In spite of both teams losing games on Tuesday, we expect this to be a high quality match at the ICC Academy. The UAE came up against a Jan Frylinck masterclass on Tuesday and will be hoping that they don’t do the same against Josh Little in this game. Our prediction is a win for Ireland.
