Oman vs United Arab Emirates Prediction: Oman lost one against UAE in last five

Oman and United Arab Emirates are going head to head in Match 46 of ICC Cricket World Cup League Two at Al Amerat Cricket Ground on 7th November 2024. Oman has lost only one game against UAE in the last five. Who will win this game of cricket?

Oman has won both the matches played so far in the tri-series. They have won against UAE and Netherlands once each. In their latest match, they limited Netherlands to 132 runs and chased down the target very comfortably with 8 wickets in hand and nearly 16 overs to spare. Oman's spin bowling is comprised of Shakeel Ahmed, Aamir Kaleem, and Wasim Ali in the playing XI against the Netherlands. This trio is expected to make a good contest against UAE in the next match. Of these, the standout has been Shakeel's form; he has taken 10 wickets in 5 innings at an economy of 3.21. Samay Shrivastava took 6 wickets in his last two matches. It would be another strong batting unit as Oman has a sound batting lineup; and they are spearheaded by some good-playing opener Jatinder Singh. Other important batsmen in this contest are Ashish Odedara and Hammad Mirza.

After losing to Oman in the first match, UAE recovered well by outscoring Netherlands by 26 runs. Batting first, they put up a very competitive score of 240 for 8 and held off their opponents at 214. Captain Rahul Chopra showed the way for his side with 78 runs from 67 deliveries, while Dhruv Parashar also was one of the key men who batted through scoring 50 not out off 48 balls. Along with the skipper, Muhammad Waseem and Basil Hameed have also been consistent contributors with the bat for UAE. On the bowling side of things, Ali Naseer has done very well and took 4 wickets for 26 runs in his last game against Netherlands. In WCL 2, Aayan Afzal Khan and Junaid Siddique top the list of wicket-takers for UAE, with 9 wickets each.

Oman has outclass over UAE in recent games in which they have taken victories of four out of the last five ODIs for them, including the tri-series currently. With a good performance in their home ground and winning both previous matches, Oman is the team in form. Though UAE has come off a confident win, Oman's stronger bowling lineup and especially its spinners are favored on the slower pitch. It would be a good idea to support Oman as the potential winner of this match.
