PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium pitch typically offers good pace and bounce early on, making it ideal for stroke play. As the game progresses, the surface tends to slow down, bringing spinners into play. The shorter square boundaries make this a high-scoring venue, while dew can be a factor in evening games.
Weather conditions are expected to be sunny and warm, perfect for cricket.
UAE vs KUW Pitch Report
The average score batting first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is 145. The highest T20I total posted at the venue is India’s 212-2 versus Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022, a game they won by 101 runs. In this game, the team batting first will eye a score of around 165-170 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
With dew expected to play a role later in the game, winning the toss could mean bowling first - as the wet conditions will make it harder for bowlers to control the ball while making batting easier in the second innings.
UAE vs KUW
Winning Prediction
Both U.A.E. and Kuwait have had solid runs in the Gulf T20I Championship, but U.A.E. have performed better overall. They have only lost one match so far and already defeated Kuwait once in this tournament. Additionally, they have not lost to Kuwait in their last four meetings. Given this strong record, U.A.E. enter the match as clear favorites.
We are backing U.A.E. as the favorites to win the Gulf T20I Championship title.
