Afghanistan vs UAE prediction

On another day, Afghanistan would’ve had a notable win and put themselves in a good position to qualify for the next round. But unfortunately, the cricketing gods were against Rashid Khan’s side, who lost in devastating fashion to South Africa in their last game, eventually falling after a second super over following a tied match. This leaves them two points behind UAE, after the latter got the better of Canada last time out.

Despite what the table says, Afghanistan are a better team than the UAE. Their bowling is stronger, particularly the spinners and the batters should really outscore what is a weak UAE line-up against quality bowlers. Afghanistan have used up all their lives and are firmly in must-win territory now, but backing them to do just that here is the sensible move.
