THE PREDICTION

Although Afghanistan have rung the changes ahead of this three-match T20i series, with a large turnover in personnel compared to the squad who competed in last year’s men’s T20 World Cup, the tourists still pose a very stern examination for an ever-improving United Arab Emirates. Off the back of the recently concluded ILT20 league, interest should be high in this contest, which is likely to be a high-scoring one at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Despite the omission of players such as Mohammad Nabi and Qais Ahmad, Afghanistan still boast a strong team, led by the brilliant Rashid Khan and it’s world class points of difference such as Rashid who will probably end up proving the difference in this one. Therefore, back Afghanistan to take a 0-1 series lead.
