United Arab Emirates vs Bahrain, ICC Men’s T20 WC Asia Regional Qualifier Final 30 Oct 2023, Mon, 8:45 AM IST Mulpani Cricket Stadium, Nepal
United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are set to collide in a Group B showdown at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.
UAE arrives at this tournament on a high note, having emerged victorious in the Tri-Series against Nepal and Hong Kong. In their recent T20I performances, UAE has secured victories in 2 out of their last 5 matches. Conversely, Bahrain has recorded 3 wins in their last five games, indicating their competitive edge.
Both teams are stepping into this match with a victory under their belts, and they are eager to secure another early win to stay in contention in the tournament.
The Mulpani Cricket Stadium offers smaller boundaries on both sides, favoring batsmen, particularly when chasing, thanks to its fast outfield. As a result, captains will likely aim to win the toss and opt to field first, given that 66% of the matches played here have been won by teams batting second.
