The second match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 will be played between United Arab Emirates and Netherlands at Simonds Stadium in Geelong on Sunday, October 16.

Both teams have played their respective warm-up games ahead of their soon-to-begin opening match of the global showpiece event. While UAE faced a 17-run loss against the West Indies, the Netherlands were also handed over a defeat by Scotland by 18 runs.

Pitch Report:

This will be the second game of the day at Simonds Stadium, and naturally, the track is likely to slow down a bit. However, the bouncy tracks in Australia always offer decent support to pacers, which also help batters to play with full flow. Team winning the toss will be looking to field first.

Probable XIs:

United Arab Emirates: CP Rizwan (d), Chirag Suri, Waseem Muhammad, Basil Hameed, Aryan Lakra, Zawar Farid, V Aravind, Aayan Afzal Khan, K Meiyappan, Zahoor Khan, Junaid Siddique

Netherlands: TLW Cooper, BFW de Leede, SJ Myburgh, MP O’Dowd, RE van der Merwe, Vikramjit Singh, Scott Edwards (c), Brandon Glover, T van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen, PA van Meekeren

Case 1:

  • United Arab Emirates wins the toss and bowls first
  • Powerplay score: 35-40
  • Netherlands total: 140-150

Case 2:

  • Netherlands wins the toss and bowls first
