South Africa vs UAE prediction

South Africa are currently one of just three teams to have won every game so far at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, showing their relentless batting prowess with numerous players proving ready to step up on the big occasion. Their latest example of that was captain Aiden Markram, whose unbeaten 86 off only 44 balls opening the batting guided the Proteas home to a crucial win over New Zealand.

It's unlikely that UAE will be able to match the firepower that South Africa possess when it comes to racking up runs at a huge rate of knots. Despite having picked up a win over Canada, they failed to follow that up against Afghanistan, losing by five wickets, demonstrating the gulf between them and the more established cricketing nations. South Africa’s batting order should wind up too strong for UAE to control and lead to Markram’s men making it four in a row.
