Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
The hosts will need Brendan Taylor, Sikandar Raza and Craig Ervine to fire with the bat in what is going to be a virtual final for them. Taylor's century in the last game against the West Indies has put him at the pole position of the tournament's runs charts while Raza has been the team's next best batsman. Skipper Graeme Cremer is leading from the front with ten wickets in five matches and he is going to be the key man for Zimbabwe when it comes to bowling.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11

Graeme Cremer (c), Brendan Taylor (wk), Hamilton Masakadza, Sean Williams, Cephas Zhuwawo, Kyle Jarvis, Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, Solomon Mire, Tendai Chisoro, Blessing Muzarabani
UAE Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting relies heavily on opening batsman Rohan Mustafa and middle-order specialist Shaiman Anwar and they will be expected to make sizable contributions in this match. The latter cracked his second fifty of the tournament against Afghanistan and he looks set for another big one here. With the ball, it is Mohammad Naveed who will pose the biggest challenge for Zimbabwe. The medium pacer has been the standout bowler for the UAE with ten wickets in five matches.

Zimbabwe vs UAE Betting Odds
Zimbabwe are huge favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at extremely short odds of 1.16 on Betfair, 1.12 on Bet365, 1.13 on Unibet and 1.14 each on Ladbrokes and Betway. United Arab Emirates on the other hand are giant underdogs at odds of 6.40 on Betfair, 6 each on Bet365 and Unibet and 5.50 each on Ladbrokes and Betway.
Zimbabwe vs UAE Prediction
While the UAE have nothing to lose as they cannot possibly qualify for the 2019 ICC World Cup, hosts Zimbabwe have everything to play for. A win here will guarantee them a trip to the UK but a loss will dash their hopes of a qualification, and they have their last-game defeat against the Windies to blame for putting themselves in this must-win situation. Nevertheless, Zimbabwe have been far superior with both bat and ball than the UAE and if they hold their nerves and play to their potential, we don't see the latter winning this one.
Final Verdict: Back Zimbabwe to beat UAE at 1.16 on 1xbet, 1.12 on Bet365, 1.13 on Unibet and 1.14 each on 10Cric and Betway.
