United Arab Emirates vs India prediction

United Arab Emirates have been dealt a really difficult start at the Asia Cup despite them having home advantage. India have had plenty of time off since their five-match Test series against England and will no doubt be ready for a full-throttle tilt at the trophy here. Suryakumar Yadav captains a squad full of talent with bat and ball, including the superstars of Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill.

United Arab Emirates should not be able to compete with the quality of players that India have and this game is expected to be a comfortable one for India. Whilst the UAE have benefitted from good preparation leading into this tournament, that surely won’t be enough against an opponent of India’s class.
