IND vs UAE Match Preview:
India will be looking to start their title defence with a win. The Men in Blue are already the most decorated side in the history of the continental championship and will look to further extend their domination. India are arguably the best T20I team in the world over the last year or so.
Your daily dose of cricket!
They have not looked back since winning the T20 World Cup last year. In the fresh World Cup cycle, they have won 17 of their 20 T20Is and are the overwhelming favourites to win the Asia Cup.
Earlier this year, India won the Champions Trophy in the UAE and will be confident of winning the ongoing competition as well.
UAE, on the other hand, will start the game as underdogs but can definitely spring a surprise or two.
Thanks to ILT20, UAE’s players have rubbed shoulders with some of the world’s leading cricketers and will look to make the most of the experience. The home advantage is also on their side, and they would be eager to capitalise on it.
In a recent interview with ESPNcricinfo, UAE captain Muhammad Waseem stated that his team can beat any team on its day in the shortest format of the game.
“We’ve been working very hard for the past two to three months and can beat anyone in this format. It comes down to what kind of cricket we play on the day, and whether we apply ourselves the way we’ve planned it.
“We can absolutely inflict an upset on one of India or Pakistan. We could beat Oman, and we’ll target one of these two and eye a run to the Super Four,” said Waseem.
IND vs UAE Head-to-Head Record:
India and the UAE have played just one T20I against each other so far. They played the match during the 2016 T20 World Cup, with India winning the match by nine wickets.
Batting first, the UAE could score only 81/9 before the Men in Blue chased down the total in less than 11 overs.
