Al Amerat Cricket Ground

In the Group B encounter of the ACC Mens T20I Premier Cup, 2024, Kuwait and Bahrain will take on each other at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 2), Al Amerat, on April 15, 2024 (Monday), at 4:00 PM IST. While Kuwait have won one and lost one so far, Bahrain are yet to register a win in the tournament, making the next encounter a virtual knockout match.

Facts:

  • Kuwait have won 10 matches against Bahrain in 13 head-to-head encounters.
  • Quddus, who made his debut back in 2022, has a T20 bowling average of 27.63.
  • Imran Ali Butt is one of Bahrain’s most prolific run-scorers, having managed 85 runs in the last two games.

Kuwait vs Bahrain Chance of Winning

Led by impeccable performances from Meet Bhavsar and R Sandaruwan in the batting department followed by Shahrukh Quddus and Parvindar Kumar’s bowling, Kuwait have done well to hang in there and make sure that they have a win on board. A win in the next game will keep them in haunt for the next round of matches - further strengthening their bid to make their first Asia Cup appearance next year.

On the other hand, Bahrain haven’t had a lot of individual glories, apart from Imran Ali Butt and Imran Anwar with the bat. While the duo have fifties against their names, others have spectacularly underperformed - but they will aim to change that narrative in the upcoming clash that would pretty much decide their sojourn in the tournament.

Kuwait vs Bahrain Betting Tips

Bet on Imran Ali Butt to make good runs against Kuwait and help Bahrain secure some sanity in the encounter. What it, in turn, can do is help us make good bucks from the clash.

How can I miss out on Meet Bhavsar, who has been one of the most consistent batters for the side since making his T20 debut in 2019?

Kuwait vs Bahrain Betting Odds

Kuwait to have a strong powerplay (Parimatch)

Kuwait vs Bahrain Best Batters

Meet Bhavsar to be Kuwait’s best batter (Parimatch)

Meet Bhavsar made his T20 debut back in 2019 and since then has grown in stature to score at an average of 27.89 and a strike rate of 133.82. He already has eight half-centuries in the format, making him indispensable to the plans. In the last game against Cambodia, Bhavsar managed an unbeaten 35 runs - which added to the credentials.

Imran Ali Butt to be Bahrain’s best batter (Parimatch)

Imran Ali Butt is one of Bahrain’s most prolific run-scorers, having managed 85 runs in the last two games. Even though his side lost, he didn’t compromise any style to produce those runs. He has an average of 25.30 in the shortest format of the game, with four half-centuries to his name already.

Kuwait vs Bahrain Best Bowlers

Shahrukh Quddus to be Kuwait’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Shahrukh Quddus has taken three wickets in the series and has been Kuwait’s best bowler in the tournament so far. Quddus, who made his debut back in 2022, has a T20 bowling average of 27.63 - which makes him such an asset to the team. Thanks to his current form, we can believe that Kuwait can make heads turn in the next few clashes.

Imran Anwar to be Bahrain’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Imran Anwar has 46 wickets in the shortest format of the game at an average of 24.93 and an economy rate of 7.86. Anwar has been the best bowler for Bahrain in the ongoing tournament, having scalped three wickets at an average of 17. So bank on him to deliver against Kuwait.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Kuwait

Kuwait are comparatively stronger than Bahrain in the ACC Premier Cup, with a core that could challenge the sides like Nepal and UAE. By winning the game against Cambodia by a margin of eight wickets, Kuwait have proven their mettle - hence, it is no doubt why we’re backing them to win the upcoming encounter.
