Sri Lanka will face the United Arab Emirates in the sixth match of the 2022 T20 World Cup. Both sides were defeated in their first matches against Namibia and the Netherlands, respectively. Another defeat for any team might mean doom for the main event. It's a must-win game for the UAE and Sri Lanka, who want to establish their dominance.

Sri Lanka was considered one of the favorites to win the competition this year following their outstanding performance in the Asia Cup 2022 (which they won), but they suddenly lost their first match of the tournament against Namibia, which was disappointing. They must now defeat the UAE in order to remain in this competition.
Sri Lanka's batting order completely disintegrated in the first game. Their entire squad returned to the pavilion having scored 108 runs in 19 overs while chasing a 164-run mark. Dasun Shanaka, the captain, was their sole successful hitter, scoring 29 runs on 23 balls with two boundaries and one big six. Bhanuka Rajapaksa scored 20 runs, while Dhananjaya de Silva managed just 12 runs. No other hitter from Sri Lanka's team could even reach double figures.
UAE
The UAE's first encounter against the Netherlands was a low-scoring affair in which they won the toss and chose to bat first. This move did not pan out well for UAE, as they only managed 111 runs in 20 overs.
The UAE bowling team performed admirably in the last encounter, but they were unable to defend a modest mark on the board, allowing 112 runs to be scored in 20 overs. Junaid Siddique was their most successful and highest run-scorer, taking three wickets in four overs against only 24 runs.
Basil Hameed, Aayan Afzal Khan, Karthik Meiyappan, and Zahoor Khan each took one wicket, while Zawar Farid and Kashif Daud failed to take a wicket. UAE must throw their all power into this encounter since they must win at all costs.
Expert Betting Tips
Sri Lanka may have lost their opening match of the tournament against Namibia, but there is no doubting that they have been brilliant in recent months and are completely in form. This UAE squad has no chance against this Sri Lankan side, and we anticipate them to beat them practically single-handedly.
