TEAMS PREVIEW
South Africa Preview
South Africa continued their dominance in the last match against New Zealand, where they bowled first and restricted New Zealand to a below-par score of 175/7. Marco Jansen set the game at the top, dismissing Seifert, Allen, and Ravindra early inside the first 10 overs, and then Keshav Maharaj dragged the game back in the middle overs with the wicket of Glenn Phillips.
Then, in the run-chase, it was a one-man show from Aiden Markram; he took the attack to the New Zealand bowlers in the powerplay overs, where South Africa scored 83 runs in the first six overs.
Markram brought up his 50 in just 19 balls and he carried on right until the end, remaining unbeaten on 86 runs in 44 balls, while de Kock (20 runs), Rickelton (21 runs), Brevis (21 runs), and David Miller (24* runs) all chipped in.
This dominant win puts South Africa in the Super Eight, but they will still be eyeing an unscathed end to their group stage.
Lungi Ngidi, who has picked up 8 wickets in 3 matches, might well be rested, and the Proteas might give left-arm seamer Kwena Maphaka a go. Jason Smith and Anrich Nortje might also get a look-in this fixture as they would like to keep their bench players in touch.
SA Over/Under Betting Tips
Aiden Markram has scored over 23 in all the three matches he has played this world cup and is also the leading run-scorer for South Africa with 150 runs in 3 matches. Given his current run of form, we back Markram to score over 23 runs in today's match against UAE.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Aiden Markram (C), Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Brevis, David Miller/Jason Smith, Tristan Stubbs, Kwena Maphaka, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje/Kagiso Rabada

United Arab Emirates Preview
United Arab Emirates gave Afghanistan a decent fight and took the game down to the last over in their last match at Delhi. Batting first, UAE put on a decent total of 160/9 on the back of a breathtaking, resilient knock from Sohaib Khan, who scored 68 runs in 48 balls, bringing up back-to-back half-centuries.
While Alishan Sharafu added 40 runs in 31 balls, barring these two batters, none of them managed to score past 20 runs, as UAE ended up probably 10–15 runs below par on a good batting track.
Then, they started well with the ball, picking up wickets at regular intervals. Junaid Siddique and Mohammad Arfan were the pick of the bowlers; both picked up two wickets each, but the score wasn't enough in the end as Afghanistan chased it down in 19.2 overs.
This loss has put UAE out of the qualification race for the Super Eight stage, but they will be proud of the efforts they put in this tournament with the bat and will look to improve and execute their bowling plans perfectly against a strong South Africa side.
United Arab Emirates Predicted Playing XI:
Aryansh Sharma (wk), Muhammad Waseem (c), Alishan Sharafu, Sohaib Khan, Syed Haider, Harshit Kaushik, Muhammad Arfan, Haider Ali, Simranjeet Singh, Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Jawadullah

RSA vs UAE Pitch Report

High ScoringPace Bowling
SwingSpin Bowling
Minimal Turn
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium has been balanced, favoring both batters and bowlers. The average first-innings score in the two morning matches played at this venue is 158 runs. Fast bowlers have picked up more wickets than spinners, and it has been a two-paced surface where batters must work hard for their runs.
We predict another good contest on a balanced track where 180–185 runs could be par and defendable. If the score is anything below that, the chasing team will fancy their chances.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We back South Africa to win the coin toss in today's match against UAE.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first won three of the four matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium this World Cup, and all three of those wins came in day matches. The surface gets better for batting as the match progresses because it hardens up; therefore, we predict the team that wins the toss will ideally look to bowl first.
RSA vs UAE
Winning Prediction
South Africa are the clear favourites to win this dead rubber match, they are the inform team with three wins in a row and expect them to dominate against UAE and finish the group stages without a loss.
