First Boundary Will be a Four
While both teams will be aiming to get the fastest start possible, the simple fact remains that a four is much more likely to be hit than a six, especially at the beggining.
Top Batter to Be from Bangladesh
Bangladesh has improved as a T20 side over the years and has some quality batters that should be able to take advantage of the weak UAE bowling.
Bangladesh will play a short two-match T20 series against the UAE before moving on to a scheduled tour of Pakistan. We expect a more or less full strength team to take the ground for both teams although Bangladesh may look to try out a couple of youngsters as well.

While there are no traditional TV channels that are broadcasting this series, Indian fans can watch all the action on Fancode.
The UAE stamped their authority in the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two with a thumping 97-run win over Scotland, showcasing a balanced and explosive performance. Aryansh Sharma set the tone with a blistering 56 off 28, while skipper Rahul Chopra anchored the innings with a fluent 101, supported by key contributions from Alishan Sharafu and Asif Khan.
The sideās ability to build partnerships and finish strongly was evident in their imposing total of 296/6. With the ball, Simranjeet Kangās disciplined spell (3/30) broke the backbone of Scotlandās batting, while Aayan Khan and Jawadullah provided crucial breakthroughs.
The UAEās fielding and bowling discipline ensured regular wickets, never allowing Scotland to settle. The depth in both batting and bowling makes UAE a serious contender to pull off an upset against Bangladesh or at the very least push them to the limit.

Bangladesh enters the T20 series against UAE with a fresh and dynamic squad, blending youth with experience as they look to fine-tune their lineup ahead of major tournaments.
Led by the explosive Litton Das and the in-form Najmul Hossain Shanto, the batting unit is stacked with flair and depth. Towhid Hridoy and Soumya Sarkar add muscle to the middle order, while all-rounders Mahedi Hasan and Shamim Hossain offer valuable balance.
The fast-bowling attack, featuring Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, and the exciting Tanzim Hasan Sakib, provides firepower, complemented by spin options like Rishad Hossain and Tanvir Islam. Bangladeshās mix of aggressive batters and adaptable bowlers makes them a formidable T20 unit.
Facing an improving UAE side, this series offers Bangladesh a chance to test bench strength and experiment with combinations, while asserting their dominance on the road.

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to field first. The conditions will not change too much over the duration of the match and having a target in front will be the better option.
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch is traditionally batting-friendly, featuring short boundaries that favor aggressive stroke play. However, the surface tends to slow down as the match progresses, offering assistance to spinners, especially in the second innings. Teams winning the toss often prefer to chase, leveraging the dew factor and consistent bounce under lights.
Weather-wise, Sharjah is expected to be hot and sunny on match day, with temperatures peaking around 38°C (100°F) and minimal chances of rain.
Bangladesh is the clear favorite when it comes to this match and the entire series. The odds may not be the most attractive but betting on Bangladesh is the only way to go in our opinion.
UAE vs BAN win percentage stands at 67% in favor of BAN.
