Dubai International Cricket Stadium

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Nepal will take on each other again on March 6 in a crucial match of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both sides recently met at the same venue, where the UAE, riding on Rohan Mustafa’s all-round efforts, ended up emerging victorious by 68 runs.

UAE vs Nepal Chance of Winning

Nepal, despite having won six out of their last seven matches, are not clear favourites for this fixture. On the other hand, the UAE, who were beaten by PNG by five wickets in their previous fixture, have been preferred as the team to emerge victorious. Thus, Chundangapoyil Rizwan and his boys have been rewarded with lucrative odds of 1.61 compared to Nepal’s 2.31

UAE vs Nepal Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

With 41 victories and as many losses, the UAE are fifth on the points table, tallying 31 points at an NRR of -0.088. Nepal, on the other hand, are on sixth place, having won 14 matches and lost 15 at an NRR of -0.224.

In their previous encounter, the UAE rode on Rohan Mustafa’s unbeaten 56 and Asif Khan’s magnificent 72 to post 207/8 on the board batting first. Sandeep Lamichhane spun a web around the batters, returning excellent figures of 10-0-27-3, but received little support from the others. Nepal, in reply, seemed too weak against the UAE attack save for Kushal Malla (60 off 53 balls). They were 107/9 at one point before No. 11 Sandeep Lamichhane’s fighting 24 helped them finish with a respectable total of 139 in 31.5 overs.

For the UAE, Mustafa and Karthik Meiyappan took three scalps each, while Junaid Siddique (2/40), Sabir Ali (1/10), and Zahoor Khan (1/18) were among the wickets as well.

UAE vs Nepal Match Toss Prediction

In the last five fixtures at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the team’s batting second won the contest thrice, while the team’s batting first won the contest twice. Interestingly, even in their last meeting, the UAE won the toss batting first, that too in a convincing fashion (by 68 runs). Hence, don’t be surprised if the toss-winning team’s captain opts to bat first.

Weather Report

As per Worldweatheronline, the average temperature in Dubai on March 6 will go as high as 26°C, and the lowest temperature will be 21°C. There is no chance of rain and the humidity probability during match time will be 44%.

UAE vs Nepal Betting Odds

Aasif Sheikh to score over 19.5 runs @X.XXX

After 30 innings, Aasif Sheikh has an ODI average of 32.28, tallying a total of 928 runs at a strike rate of 75.02. He seemed in excellent touch against the PNG, scoring an unbeaten 86 off 130 balls to take his side past the finishing line by three wickets. Even in the UAE, his average read 34.40 after six innings. Thus, this bet should be a safe one for the punters.

UAE vs Nepal Top Team Batsmen

Asif Khan to be UAE’s top batter @X.XXX

Asif played a valiant knock of 72 off 99 balls, laced with five fours and three sixes, in their previous meeting against Nepal. Although he failed to carry the momentum against Papua New Guinea, falling after scoring 11 off 28 balls, there was no one who stepped up in his failure either. His average in the UAE stands at 25.33, which with time, will only go up.

Rohit Paudel to be Nepal’s top batter @X.XXX

Paudel, easily Nepal’s best batsman at present, averages 34.64 in ODIs, tallying 1178 runs from 39 innings. Despite the fact that his scores in recent matches (0.1) do not encourage the punters to put on bets on him, there is no other player who can be relied more upon than him. In the UAE, his average (31.37) in ODIs is quite impressive, scoring 251 runs in nine innings.

UAE Volts vs Nepal Top Team Bowlers

Karthik Meiyappan to be UAE’s top bowler @X.XXX

Meiyappan has made his mark already in the international set-up, picking 20 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 22.60. He had the best economy rate (2.90) among the UAE bowlers when he snared three wickets against Nepal in their recent outing. It was his debut match against Nepal, and he made an instant impact there. In the UAE, the leg-spinner has a total of 13 wickets from nine matches, averaging 23.92. Bank upon him to eventually finish as UAE’s top-wicket taker against Nepal like he was alongside Rohan Mustafa a few days ago.

Sandeep Lamichhaneto be Nepal’s top bowler @X.XXX

Having taken 86 wickets in 35 innings at an average of only 15.32, Lamichhane’s records in ODIs are nothing but spectacular. Even in their previous fixture, the 22-year-old shone with the bat, claiming three wickets for 27 runs which unfortunately did not come in a winning cause. In all, he has taken 18 wickets in seven matches against the UAE at an average of 12.66 and a strike rate of just 21, which is better than his career strike rate (22.7). Therefore, this is obvious that Lamichhane is Nepal’s go-to person when it comes to chipping in with wickets.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: UAE

Given the fact the UAE are terribly inconsistent altogether, we would recommend the punters to keep faith in the Rohit Paudel-led side to exact revenge.

• UAE to win @ 1.61 (Melbet)
• Nepal to win @ 2.31 (Melbet)
