Oman vs UAE Betting Odds
Zeeshan Maqsood to score over 21.5 runs
Maqsood has scored more than 30 runs on four occasions in the last five games while he didn’t bat in the remaining fixture. Also, he is one the leading all-rounders in the team and his average of more than 30 in ODIs also boosts the probability of the batter crossing the mentioned mark.
Oman vs UAE Top Team Batters
Kashyap Prajapati to be Oman’s top batter
Kashyap Prajapati is coming into the contest with a knock of 72 runs in the last game against Ireland. The Oman batter has averaged 32.12 in the ODIs and is likely to continue his form in the match against UAE being the top batter for the side.
Vriitya Aravind to be UAE’s top batter
Vriitya Aravind was the joint highest run-scorer in the previous match against Sri Lanka with a knock of 39 runs against a quality bowling attack. Further, he has scored 1536 ODI runs with an average of 33.39 including two centuries and eight fifties. Thus, considering his experience of playing in the international arena and his form in the West Indies series which included knocks of 40, 36, and 70, he is likely to be the top batter for UAE in the game.
Oman vs UAE Top Team Bowlers
Bilal Khan to be Oman’s top bowler
Bilal Khan has picked 81 ODI wickets from 38 ODI innings with a bowling average of 19.56 for Oman. Also, he has two four-wicket hauls in his last five outings and the left-arm seamer is likely to shine with the ball once again while playing against UAE.
Zahoor Khan to be UAE’s top bowler
Zahoor Khan is one of the key bowlers in the UAE bowling unit and has scalped five wickets in his last five List A games. Further, he boasts impressive numbers in his international career bagging 88 wickets from 56 matches with a bowling average and a strike rate both below 30. Thus, it is likely that Zahoor would emerge as the top bowler for the team in the match.
