United Arab Emirates (UAE) will take on Bangladesh in the first T20 match of their two-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on May 17. The visitors are the clear favourites, having won all three previous T20 encounters against UAE.
Bangladesh have shown impressive form recently, sweeping the West Indies 3-0 at their home. Litton Das leads a well-rounded squad with talented players like Tanzid Hasan, Jaker Ali and Mustafizur Rahman. Litton is likely to play a crucial role in Bangladesh’s batting lineup, while Mustafizur’s experience and variations will trouble UAE’s batters.
Meanwhile, UAE haven’t had much success against Bangladesh in T20Is. Muhammad Waseem leads the team and has been a prolific run-scorer in T20Is. He is expected to lead from the front and set the tone for UAE’s batting lineup to create trouble for the visitors.
