THE PREDICTION

Canada are looking to make it past the group stage for the first time and here they face a side that beat them at this same point in the most recent Under-19 World Cup. With Bangladesh and England both clear favourites to qualify out of Group A, that makes this match vital for both nations. Experience will prove key in a fixture like this and the presence of all-rounder Alishan Sharafu as captain, who already has full international appearances under his belt may be crucial for UAE. The psychological effect of never having qualified for the next round may also take its toll on Canada and when also factoring in that UAE are likely to adapt easier to the expected hot conditions in the West Indies, it is Sharafu’s side that are to be backed for victory over the Canadians.
