United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan prediction

Afghanistan’s batting was poor in their opening match and most improve here in what should be seen as a very winnable game from their perspective. You could argue that United Arab Emirates put up a better fight against Pakistan, scoring more runs and losing by 31 runs compared to Afghanistan’s defeat to the same opponent by 39 runs.

But you would expect Afghanistan to raise their performance levels here. When taking into account the squad they possess, Afghanistan have extra gears they can shift into if needed, whereas United Arab Emirates may have peaked in their first game, particularly from a batting perspective. Therefore, consider backing Afghanistan in this contest.
