Netherlands are favorites to win
Match 2 of the 2022 T20 World Cup sees UAE and Netherlands go head to head in Pool A in the First Round of the competition. This is UAE’s first T20 World Cup for eight years. Netherlands lost all three of their games in last year’s tournament. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at Kardinia Park, Geelong at 19:00 local time on Sunday evening.
UAE prepared for this competition with a two-match home series against Bangladesh. Although they lost 2-0, they will be match ready and we expect them to be competitive against Netherlands.
Netherlands underperformed in the UAE during last year’s T20 World Cup but have players who are comfortable in Australian conditions. We expect them to put in a strong performance in this match.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Although both teams would be comfortable batting first, UAE and Netherlands both prefer to chase a total. We predict that the captains will elect to field first if they win the toss.
Any score over 200 will prove to be hard to chase down on this pitch. Expect the surface to provide good bounce and carry for the pace bowlers.
Humidity levels will be above 65% throughout this game although the temperature will be no higher than 11 degrees in the second innings.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for UAE vs Netherlands, T20 World Cup 2022
In their first T20 World Cup since 2014 and only their second ever, UAE have very little to lose in this tournament. Expectations are relatively low for the side but they have some exciting young players who will relish the opportunity to perform on this stage. None of their key players are carrying any injuries.
UAE are looking to avoid their fourth successive IT20 defeat in this match. They have won only one of their last five games in this format.

It was a busy summer for Netherlands who played 15 games from June to August and were able to test themselves against some of the top white ball sides. The team management have a fully fit squad to select from ahead of this opening game.
Netherlands have lost their last three IT20s but had won their previous four games in this format.
Max O’Dowd, Stephan Myburgh, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Scott Edwards (c) (wk), Logan van Beek, Brandon Glover, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren, Shariz Ahmad
The two sides are locked together on four wins each after eight IT20s. Netherlands won their last meeting in October 2019 to end a four match winning streak for UAE.

The bookmakers are expecting a very close contest between UAE and Netherlands. By a small margin, Netherlands are favourites ahead of the game.

Both teams will see this as a winnable game with tougher future Pool A games to come against Namibia and Sri Lanka. Netherlands players have more experience in big games and high profile tournaments.
Mohammed Waseem, Chirag Suri and Vritiya Aravind are our recommendations with the bat for UAE. Suri has scored seven half-centuries.
We have selected Max O’Dowd, Tom Cooper and Bas de Leede for Netherlands. de Leede hit successive half-centuries against New Zealand in his last two IT20s.
We are backing Zahoor Khan, Junaid Siddique and Karthik Meiyappan as our bowling tips for UAE. Siddique took 5-13 in a warm up game against West Indies in Melbourne on Tuesday.
Brandon Glover, Fred Klaassen and Paul van Meekeran are our bowling choices for Netherlands. Glover bowls at a good pace and has 30 wickets at an average of 16.03 in this format.
Neither UAE or Netherlands come into this game in good IT20 form, but we still expect to see a high scoring game in Geelong. UAE have a strong bowling attack who will give Netherland’s batters a tough time but overall we expect Netherlands to come out on top.
