UAE vs NED, 2nd Match Pitch Report

The surface should aid the batters. The ball comes on nicely onto the bat in Australia. There will not be much lateral movement as wellm but the bowlers can use the bounce to their advantage. There will be a heavy cloud cover with more than a 50 per cent chance of rain as well. The temperature can also dip to 4 degrees which will make life tough for the players.

UAE vs NED 2nd Match Probable Winners:

The Netherlands were trounced by Scotland in the first warm-up match while the second fixture was washed out due to rain. The Dutch will be led by skipper Scott Edwards and will be hoping to put up strong performances to make it to the Super 12 stage. Meanwhile, the UAE side has improved significantly and will be hoping to make a mark in the coveted tournament. Chirag Suri and Waseem Muhammad will be the two players along with the captain who will be key players for UAE. Both teams will be desperate to kick off their tournament on a winning note. UAE seem like slight favourites but it will be interesting to see who triumphs in Geelong on Sunday. Considering the team combination, United Arab Emirates is expected to win this match.
