UAE vs WI Team Previews
United Arab Emirates
UAE doesn’t have much experience playing on the big stage and against big international teams and that has affected their performance. However, the local cricket boards have hosted quite a few T20 and T10 leagues in recent months, allowing local talents to interact with some of the best players in the world.
Muhammad Waseem and Aryansh Sharma will be looking to give the team a good start here. Waseem is by far the most experienced batter on the team and UAE will bank on him to take on the opposition bowling. The middle order consisting of Vriitya Aravind, Rameez Shehzad, and Asif Khan will play an important role during the middle overs.
All-rounders including Rohan Mustafa and Afzal Khan add depth to the batting. Ali Naseer played a brilliant knock lower down the order in the last match and will look to put up a similar performance here.
Talking about the bowling, Junaid Siddiqui and Ali Naseer will open the attack with the new ball and look to take some early wickets.
Aayan Afzal Khan and Rohan Mustafa were very economical in the last match and they will once again play an important role here. Karthik Maiyappan is another dependable spinner in the squad and although he was very expensive in the previous match, he is not someone that you should write off completely.

Waseem Muhammad, Aryansh Sharma, Vriitya Aravind, Lovepreet Singh, Asif Khan, Basil Hameed, Ali Naseer, Aayan Khan, Sanchit Sharma, Adhitya Shetty, Zahoor Khan.
West Indies
The West Indies narrowly missed out on securing a direct entry to the upcoming ODI World Cup scheduled to be held towards the end of this year. Now, as they prepare to take on 9 other teams for the last 2 available spots, a win in this series will help them gain confidence before the upcoming Qualifiers.
Brandon King scored a brilliant century in the opening match which helped them achieve the 203-run target with plenty of overs to spare. West Indies have a strong batting line-up consisting of players like Johnson Charles, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty, and Shai Hope.
The team also has some big hitters like Keemo Paul, Roston Chase, and Kavem Hodge lower down the order who can add some valuable runs towards the end of an innings. The visitors have a potent seam attack made up of Keemo Paul, Dominic Drakes, and Odean Smith, who bowled well in the last match. They took as many as 7 wickets between them.
The trio will once again enjoy the good pace and bounce off the pitch. The spin attack is made up of Roston Chase and Yannic Cariah who will look to dry the runs in the middle overs. The West Indies have brought in their top players here and shouldn’t have much of a problem as they face a weaker opposition.

Bet on West Indies to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The opening pair for the West Indies put up a 48-run partnership in the first match and appeared to be in good touch. On the other hand, both the opening batsmen for UAE were seen struggling and we expect their woes to continue.
The UAE batsmen struggled to score runs against the quality bowling attack of their opponents. They could manage to hit just 14 4s. We are expecting a similar performance here. The weakness in their batting lineup is something we can take advantage of.
West Indies have a strong batting line-up and the players at the top of the order are capable of scoring some brisk runs. Brandon King in particular is in good form and we can expect the team to score plenty of runs during the Powerplay.
