United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan Chance of Winning
The United Arab Emirates side are always going to find it difficult to beat the Afghanistan side, but they surely would want to alter things around in a more responsible way. Led by Muhammad Waseem, they have some talented players in the form of Khalid Shah, Vriitya Aravind, Samal Udawaththa, and Tanish Suri.
However, could that be enough to beat Afghanistan? Surely not. The Ibrahim Zadran-led side have some of the best players in the world - five IPL players in their side, no less - with them having a strong base to capitalize on the proceedings. Even though the likes of Rashid Khan is not there, they have some of the best players in the world, who could challenge any team in the world on their day.

United Arab Emirates Team Form
The United Arab Emirates have won four of their last six matches, which indicate a strong sense of form coming into the home encounter against Afghanistan. However, most of their wins have come against smaller teams, with no base to stand on. Against an in-form Afghanistan side, they may find it extremely difficult to operate.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Qais Ahmad, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Rahmat Shah, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Ishaq, Sediqullah Atal, Mohammad Saleem Safi, Sharafuddin Ashraf

Afghanistan Team Form
Afghanistan's dominance shines through with seven wins in their last ten completed matches, including three victories against a formidable Pakistani team. As they showed in the first game of the series, one can be sure that things will be more in their favour going into the second game of the series.
United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan Head-To-Head
Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates have played each other 10 times in T20Is, with the former securing eight wins as compared to the home side’s two wins.
United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan Betting Odds
Afghanistan to score above 49.5 runs in the powerplay @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
In the first match, the Sharjaha Cricket Stadium wasn’t as fast as it used to be. Despite being the smallest cricket ground of the country, Afghanistan could only muster 45 runs but that’s not the case normally. Teams manage to score over 55 runs in the first six overs of batting at the venue and we are very confident that the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai will help Afghanistan achieve that.

United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan Best Batters
Waseem Muhammad to be United Arab Emirates’ best batter (Parimatch)
Waseem Muhammad tops the charts for most T20I runs in 2023, amassing an impressive 810 runs at an average of 40. His consistent performance, marked by six half-centuries, was a tell-all, even though he failed to contribute much in the first game of the series.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz to be Afghanistan’s best batter (Parimatch)
Rahmanullah Gurbaz has 3606 runs in the shortest format of the game, with two centuries and 22 half-centuries backing the sojourn. That he is a talented batter has never been in doubt - what makes it even more promising is the fact that Gurbaz has scored a century in the first game of the series. He is sure to carry that form forward.
United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan Best Bowlers
Zahoor Khan to be United Arab Emirates’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Zahoor Khan has taken 26 wickets at an average of 20.1 in 2023, which made him the most successful bowler of the year for his country. Whenever the stakes are higher, Zahoor has somehow made it a habit to pick wickets, which is very much understandable from his strike rate of 17.2.
Fazalhaq Farooqi to be Afghanistan's best bowler (Parimatch)
Fazalhaq Farooqi has been retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and there is a reason why. The Afghanistan pacer has picked 64 T20 wickets at an average of 22.46 with an economy rate of 6.67. By picking two wickets early in the game, he broke UAE’s back in the last game and in all probability, that will continue.
