Our Prediction

Favorites to win: UAE

Despite UAE having some quality batters on their side, their batting unit has failed to perform in recent games. Papua New Guinea have some in-form bowlers in their team and that is likely to work in their favour against a side whose batters are going through a rough patch. Also, these two teams met twice within the last month and PNG won both matches. Considering all these factors, we back PNG to secure a win in the game.
