South Africa vs United Arab Emirates Chance of Winning

South Africa headed into this tournament hoping to go all the way after a disappointing finals defeat last term. So far in this campaign they have been sensational as they have won three games on the bounce and have qualified for the Super Eight. In the last game they beat New Zealand.

United Arab Emirates have struggled to make an impact this season as so far this term they have one win in three matches and need a win to stay in contention this term. In the last game they lost against Afghanistan. As per our calculations, South Africa are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • South Africa’ chances of winning - 96%
  • United Arab Emirates’ chances of winning - 04%
