United Arab Emirates vs Bhutan Prediction: UAE are on top form

United Arab Emirates and Bhutan are going head to head in the Match 2 of ICC Mens T20 World Cup Qualifer B at University of Doha for Science and Technology in Doha, Qatar on 19th November 2024. UAE are on top form at the moment. Who will win this game of cricket?

United Arab Emirates, having narrowly missed the qualification stage for the 2024 T20 World Cup, will work hard to ensure they perform better than last time. For the United Arab Emirates, the most important goal for the tournament would be to top the table. The team enters the tournament on good form having won four of their last five matches, including a 55-run win over Oman in the final of the ACC Premier Cup in April. Waseem and Asif Khan, Alishan Sharafu and Basil Hameed are some of the key players of the country, though the batting line-up will gain added strength by the presence of Vishnu Sukumaran at the top. Muhammad Jawadullah impressed in the recently concluded T20 series in Windhoek, with the support of spinners Basil Hameed and Aayan Afzal Khan. Other emerging players in the team, Ali Naseer would have been successful with his bowling as he took four wickets in one game. His economy rate in that game was impressive.

Bhutan did well in the Quadrangular tournament back home, winning three of five played, but among those they could win were Indonesia and Maldives. They lost to Thailand and Saudi Arabia, both of whom also qualify for the Qualifier. Here, they meet a team with whom they have never played yet-United Arab Emirates.

Key batsmen such as Ranjung Dorji and Tenjin Rabgey will lead the batting house in the final match for Bhutan. Thinley Jamtsho will make a recovery from a terrible series back home. They will look at bowlers Sonam Yeshey, Suprit Pradhan, and Ranjung Dorji to strike in the game. Yeshey has proven to be effective with his off spin, and Pradhan and Dorji have shown promises with medium fast bowling in recent games.

Suprit Pradhan, Tenjin Rabgey, Thinley Jamtsho (c), Jigme Singye, Namgay Thinley, Dawa Dawa, Tenzin Wangchuk, Gakul Ghalley, Tshering Tashi (wk), Ranjung Mikyo Dorji, Sonam Yeshey.

The United Arab Emirates should therefore win clearly against Bhutan in this match because they are the stronger team and have always controlled other weaker teams like Bhutan. This is nearly impossible that Bhutan should stand a chance against them. Our prediction is that United Arab Emirates will come out on top in this contest.
