TEAMS PREVIEW
United Arab Emirates Preview
The United Arab Emirates head into this contest following a seven-wicket victory over Kenya in their last match. This was the second time in the tournament that the UAE's bowlers dismissed their opponents for under 100 runs, having previously bowled out Nigeria for 58 and now Kenya for 98.
It was a collective bowling effort with Akif Raja (2/19), Haider Ali (2/21), Muhammad Rohid (2/15), and Muhammad Zohaib (2/13) each taking two wickets. Muhammad Zohaib's knock of 35 runs and Aryansh Sharma's 35 runs helped the UAE chase down the target in just 13.5 overs.
Muhammad Zohaib has been the star bowler for the team, taking 11 wickets in four matches and consistently dismantling the top order. Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Haider Ali has been highly effective in the middle overs, claiming seven wickets.
United Arab Emirates Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Waseem, Muhammad Zohaib, Alishan Sharafu, Asif Khan, Haider Ali, Aryansh Sharma, Ethan D'Souza, Akif Raja, Matiullah Khan, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Muhammad Zuhaib

Nigeria Preview
Nigeria is heading into this match after a thrilling six-run victory over Namibia A. In a low-scoring affair, they successfully defended a total of 106 runs against a strong Namibia A batting lineup that crumbled under pressure. This win ended Nigeria's five-match losing streak.
Batting first, Nigeria's top-order once again struggled to score runs. Olayinka Olaleye was the top scorer with 34 runs off 36 balls, while Prosper Useni scored 20 runs to push the total past 100. In their bowling effort, Peter Aho and Isaac Danladi each picked up two wickets while conceding less than six runs per over.
Although this victory was a morale booster, it does not count towards the points table, leaving Nigeria with no official wins in the tournament. With two games remaining, they will be looking to step up their performance and put up a much better fight against the UAE.
Nigeria Predicted Playing XI:
Isaac Okpe, Prosper Useni, Sylvester Okpe, Vincent Adewoye, Abdulrahman Jimoh, Akhere Isesele, Solomon Chilemanya, Sulaimon Runsewe, Mohameed Taiwo, Peter Aho, Isaac Danladi

Toss: To Bat
In their last two matches, the UAE has had the upper hand when bowling first. Conversely, Nigeria has struggled whether they are batting or bowling first. However, teams batting first at the Entebbe Oval have generally had the advantage this series. We predict that the team that wins the toss will choose to bat first.
