HK vs UAE Preview
- In the last 10 games they have played here, the United Arab Emirates have only lost twice.
- They will be troubled by the fact that Hong Kong has never won against the United Arab Emirates in this particular game format.
- Muhammad Waseem, the UAE’s starting quarterback, is in fantastic form, which should give the team confidence going into this game.
The sixth and final game in the Round-Robin stage of the 2022 Asia Cup Qualifier will feature Hong Kong versus UAE. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 24, at 20:00 local time at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground, Turf 1 in Muscat.
Hong Kong enters this match in the lead after defeating Kuwait by eight wickets and Singapore by eight runs in their previous two games. It is a straightforward calculation: if Hong Kong wins this match, they will join Pakistan and India in Group A of the Asia Cup. If they lose, UAE will surpass them in terms of net run rate. With 53 not out from 30 balls versus Kuwait, Babar Hayat had the highest score, and opener and skipper Nizakat Khan also reached the half-century mark. In his innings on Tuesday, Hayat blasted five sixes and appeared to be in excellent shape. Yasim Murtaza, a left-arm spinner, had a successful bowling performance against Kuwait, returning figures of 2-11 from four overs.
UAE lost their first game by a shocking one wicket to Kuwait, but on Monday they defeated Singapore easily by a score of 47 runs. Muhammad Waseem led the team in scoring against Singapore with 58 runs off 34 balls, including three fours and five sixes. In the game, leg-spinner Karthik Meiyappan and medium fast bowler Junaid Siddique both recorded three over totals of 3-14 wickets each. Even though UAE already has a higher net run rate than all the teams, they will need to monitor Kuwait’s vs Singapore match earlier in the day in order to set a precise goal for the outcome of this match.

The Oman Cricket Academy Ground, Turf 1, in Muscat will host the game. The spinners will have a lot of turns and bounce on this surface. Additionally, six-hitting should be simpler for competent batters than at most venues.
