UAE vs AFG Prediction: United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan are in a do-or-die situation for a place in the Tri-Series final.
After losing their respective games against Pakistan, both United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan are scheduled to be up against each other in the upcoming clash of the T20I Tri-Series. These teams will be in action at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on September 1 in the game, starting at 8:30 PM. Afghanistan bowled well but batted poorly. UAE had a better batting display, but bowling was totally fragile.
Interestingly, this is a home venue for both sides, and they know it very well. Afghanistan had a rather poor game where they failed badly because of the middle-order collapse. They need a good start from their top order. UAE, on the other hand, still have a long way to go. They are a lower-tier cricket team, but they have played enough against Afghanistan and would be aware of how to plan against them.

UAE vs AFG: Probable Best Batter
United Arab Emirates: Muhammad Waseem has been the main batting pillar for UAE. He has been their best scorer in the last few series and even played a great quick knock against Pakistan.
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz is expected to do well here. He played a good hand in the first match but got out at the wrong time. Now, he will be eager to take it forward.
UAE vs AFG: Probable Best Bowler
United Arab Emirates: Haider Ali has 18 wickets in the last ten T20Is. That tells how great he is at bowling at the moment. A good spell can help his team reach a good position.
Afghanistan: Rashid Khan will be aiming to take his team to win. His four overs in the middle will decide which way this game will be heading.
Match Prediction: United Arab Emirates can use their home conditions well. But Afghanistan have also played enough in the UAE to adjust quickly. The two batting lineups are totally different. UAE batters are not exposed enough against a quality bowling lineup, while Afghanistan have improved their batting standards in the last year or so.
Afghanistan have one of the best spin attacks in the world, while UAE mainly rely on Haider Ali with the ball. The pace attack of both teams is pretty similar, but the experience factor falls in favor of Afghanistan. Hence, Afghanistan have more chances to win this game.
