TEAMS PREVIEW
United Arab Emirates Preview
UAE has been one of the top T20 teams in year 2024. UAE have played a total of 22 matches so far in 2024, winning 17 of them. UAE's win-loss ratio is worse than only India, Japan, and Australia in this year. The way things have gone so far in the Gulf T20 Championship, they are certainly the team to beat in this competition.
UAE lost their last T20I back in September 2024. Since then, they have won 10 T20Is in a row, including the two in this tournament. In the first game against Bahrain, UAE strangled them for 113 for 8 in 20 overs. Ali Nasir took 2 wickets giving just 9 runs in 4 overs. The chase proved to be an easy one with half-centuries from captain Muhammad Waseem and Asif Khan. UAE won in the 17th over with 8 wickets remaining.
In the second game against Oman, UAE managed to score 157 for 7 in 20 overs. It was a slightly below par score. Muhammad Wasim was the top scorer again with 48 runs off just 31 balls. In defense, Ali Nasir yet again was the peak of the bowlers taking 2 wickets for 23 runs in 4 overs. UAE restricted Oman to a score of 133 for 8 in 20 overs, winning the match comfortably by 24 runs. With an impeccable record in the last 10 T20Is and the way they have started this tournament, it looks unlikely for anyone right now to stop UAE's winning run.
Key players: Muhammad Waseem, Ali Naseer, Rahul Chopra, Junaid Siddique

Kuwait Preview
Kuwait aren't doing badly themselves in the year 2024 when it comes to T20I cricket. They have played 22 matches and have won 14 of them. In the couple of games that have happened in the Gulf T20I championship so far they have lost one and won one game. But owing to a better net run rate they are placed second in the points table.
Kuwait started the season with a win against Saudi Arabia by 6 wickets with over 3 overs remaining. Winning the toss, Kuwait asked Saudi Arabia to bat first and managed to restrict them to just 136 runs. Muhammad Aslam took 4 wickets for 22 runs. He was well supported by Neet Bhavsar who took 3 wickets for just 10 runs in 4 overs. The chase proved to be an easy one with Kuwait reaching the target in just 17th over with 6 wickets remaining. Usman Patel was the highest scorer with 50 runs off just 35 balls.
In their second match, Kuwait lost a low scorer by 4 runs. After asking Bahrain to bat first, they did pretty well to restrict the opponents to 125 for 18-20 overs. Four Kuwait bowlers went on to take two wickets each. Mirza Ahmed was the best bowler with two wickets for 15 runs in three overs. It should have been an easy chase, but Kuwait were bundled out for 121 in the 20th over, losing the match by 4 runs. Many batters got starts, but no one could convert that into a big one. Kuwait will have to play much better against UAE who are one of the top teams of the tournament so far.
Key players: Muhammad Aslam, Mirza Ahmed, Meet Bhavsar
Kuwait Predicted Playing XI:
Meet Bhavsar (wk), Ravija Sandaruwan, Clinto Anto, Muhammad Umar, Mohammed Aslam (c), Bilal Tahir, Yasin Patel, Adnan Idrees, Sayed Monib, Mohamed Shafeeq, Mirza Ahmed

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions

UAE vs KUW Pitch Report
The match is happening at the ICC Academy in Dubai, a world-class cricket stadium and training center run by the International Cricket Council. Opened in 2009, it has hosted many international T20 games. The stadium can be house to about 30,000 fans.
Toss: To Bowl
At the ICC Academy in Dubai, teams batting first have a clear advantage. Out of 40 matches that ended in outright results, 26 were won by the team that batted first, while only 14 were won by the team that chased. This shows that winning the toss and choosing to bat first is usually the better choice. The team winning the toss should bat first here.
UAE vs KUW
Winning Prediction
UAE are one of the top T20I teams of the year, not just in this tournament, but overall in all T20Is. They have won their last 10 T20Is in a row. They are at the top of the table in this tournament as well with two wins in two games. It is going to be tough for Kuwait to stop the juggernaut of the UAE. We believe UAE definitely have an upper hand over Kuwait in this game.
