Nepal vs United Arab Emirates Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
With 18 wins from 35 matches and 15 defeats, Nepal had a decent campaign but some more work was needed from them to end up in the top two spots of the points table. The duo of Rohit Paudel and Aasif Sheikh have been the major run contributors averaging 34.34 and 34.59 respectively. Kushal Bhurtel has also chipped in with 631 runs from 28 innings. Sandeep Lamichhane and Karan KC have been brilliant with the ball, emerging as the leading wicket-takers for the team. Aasif has been in brilliant form recently and so Nepal would be expecting him and Lamichhane to deliver a victory in their last game of the tournament.
Considering UAE’s campaign so far, only disappointment was written all over it with just 15 wins from 35 matches and suffering a defeat on 17 occasions. They had a bunch of all-rounders in the side, but batting mostly let them down. Nevertheless, Vriitya Aravind scored 953 runs from 33 innings at an average of 30.74. However, Aravind is the only batter who has played more than 10 matches and has an average below 30. The team has been lacking performance from their batting unit and they would like the players to deliver at least in the last game.
Junaid Siddique and Zahoor Khan have been the strike bowlers for the side while Rohan Mustafa has also scalped some wickets. Hazrat Bilal was played in the last game and he responded to the call-up in the best possible manner, taking four wickets in the game against PNG.
Nepal vs United Arab Emirates Match Toss Prediction
The venue has seen mixed choices from the captain in the last five matches as they chose to field first on three occasions while the team winning the toss opted to bat first on a couple of occasions. However, three matches were won by the team batting first while the chasing team won the game in a couple of fixtures. Considering the trends at the venue, the team winning the toss is likely to opt for fielding after winning the toss.
Weather Report
As per worldweatheronline, rain interference isn’t any cause of concern for both the parties and so the spectators can expect a full length contest. Also, it will be cloudy during the first innings and so the fast bowlers can get some help from the surface. The temperature will hover around 25 degrees Celsius.
