Ireland vs UAE Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Ireland have lost against Oman, Scotland, and Sri Lanka so far in the competition. George Dockrell and Curtis Campher have been the key batters for the team. Dockrell has scored 186 runs from three innings and has recovered Ireland’s innings when they were on the verge of a collapse. Campher has 159 runs but the squad will expect other batters to step up to the situation as well and deliver with their willow to ink a victory in the final league game.

Mark Adair has scalped nine wickets across three innings with a bowling average of 16.66. He also has an impressive strike rate of 19.3 apart from being the only standout bowler for Ireland. However, other bowlers haven’t been up to the mark with no other bowler taking more than five wickets. So, they will need their bowlers to improve their collective performance in the fixture to salvage their pride with a win.

The United Arab Emirates have lost their matches against Sri Lanka, Oman, and Scotland. Batting has been the biggest area of concern for the team with no batter scoring more than 100 runs. The highest run-scorer for UAE has been Vriitya Aravind who has managed to score only 88 runs from three innings with a poor average of 29.33. While the batting department has failed UAE, their bowlers haven’t been impressive as well. Junaid Siddique has been the strike bowler for the team taking five wickets from two innings with a bowling average of 16. Ali Naseer has scalped four wickets across three innings with an economy of 4.03. Overall, the bowling unit has been disappointing and needs a massive change in the performance in the last league game.
