USA vs UAE Team Previews
USA
The USA gained an entry to the Qualifiers in Zimbabwe by finishing at the top of the Qualifier Playoffs tournament held earlier this year. But the team has been unable to maintain its momentum and failed to win even a single match here in Zimbabwe, thereby finishing at the bottom of the Group A points.
The opening pair of Sushant Modani and Steven Taylor hasn’t been in the best of forms in this tournament. However, Modani did manage to turn things around a bit and scored a gritty half-century in his last outing and the USA will be banking on him to play another good inning here.
Shayan Jahangir has been the mainstay of the USA’s batting and is the top run-getter for them. He missed out on the last match due to a niggle and updates regarding his availability are awaited. In his absence, Saiteja Mukkamalla and Gajanand Singh will play an important role in the middle order.
Nosthush Kenjige has been a decent all-rounder for the team and is the leading wicket-taker for them on this tour. He will feature in the spin department along with Steven Taylor, Nisarg Patel, and Usman Rafique.
Saurabh Netravalkar will lead the pace attack along with Abhishek Paradkar.
USA Playing 11
Sushant Modani, Saiteja Mukkamalla, Monank Patel, Aaron Jones, Gajanand Singh, Shayan Jahangir, Nisarg Patel, Nosthush Kenjige, Jessy Singh, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar.
United Arab Emirates
Just like the USA, the UAE played well in the Qualifier Playoffs to finish in second place to book a ticket to Zimbabwe. But they haven’t managed to make a mark here and are winless after playing 5 games and are now playing to keep themselves off the bottom of the table.
With Muhammad Waseem out of action due to an injury, the team’s batting appears considerably weak. Stand-in skipper Vriitya Aravind will have to play well here if the UAE wants to win. Asif Khan and Aryansh Sharma will open the batting and will be hoping to give the team a strong start, while Rameez Shahzad will feature in the middle order.
UAE has two experienced all-rounders on the team in the form of Basil Hameed and Rohan Mustafa. The former has done a decent job with the bat, while the latter has picked up 4 wickets. They will feature alongside Karthik Meiyappan in the spin attack.
The UAE has plenty of options in the pace department which includes the likes of Sanchit Sharma, Junaid Siddiqui, Ali Naseer, and Muhammad Jawadullah.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Takashinga Sports Club in Harare isn’t the easiest to bat on, at least in the first innings. There is some amount of movement for the quicker bowlers and the batsmen will need to tread carefully. The surface does settle down and gets easier to bat on as the match progresses. The average first-inning score here is around 230 but the team batting first will look to score over 260 to give the bowlers a fighting chance.
The weather will remain clear and pleasant throughout the day.
USA vs UAE Betting Tips
Both teams are winless so far on this tour and there is little separating both in terms of form. However, we feel that UAE has a slight edge here. While their record against the USA hasn’t been the best, they have a stronger team and we expect them to come out on top.
Bet on the UAE to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The pitch at the Takashinga Sports Club isn’t the easiest to bat on and with plenty of out-of-form batsmen on both sides, we are likely to see a couple of ducks.
With the pitch here getting increasingly difficult to bat on, we feel that the batsmen will struggle to make a big score here.
UAE has a pretty strong pace attack and with the pitch in Harare aiding the fast bowlers, we can expect the top bowler of the match to come from the UAE team.
