UAE vs BAN Match Prediction - Who will win today’s 1st ODI match between UAE and Bangladesh?

In this article, we will analyze the UAE vs BAN Match Prediction. The first match in the two-T20I series between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bangladesh (BAN) will be held on Saturday, May 17, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Bangladesh will be in action for the first time since drawing the two-match Test series at home against Zimbabwe last month. The Bangla Tigers will have happy memories of their last T20I campaign. They whitewashed the West Indies 3-0 in the Caribbean in December 2024. New skipper Litton Das will want to help Bangladesh win back-to-back T20I series.

Meanwhile, the UAE are coming off a disappointing campaign in the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two. They played three ODIs against Scotland and two against the Netherlands from May 4 to May 14. The Rahul Chopra-led side managed only one win against Scotland but lost the remaining matches.

Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Litton Das

Litton Das will look to lead from the front in his first match as full-time captain of Bangladesh’s T20I lineup. The 30-year-old had a fine outing in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) earlier this year, scoring 368 runs in 11 innings at an average of 36.80 and a strike rate of 143.19. He will look to give his team some blazing starts at the top of the order.

Probable Best Bowler: Tanzim Hasan Sakib

Pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib was in excellent form during BPL 2024-25. The right-arm pacer took 16 wickets in nine matches at an average of 18.18 and a strike rate of 13.31. He bowled with a decent economy rate of 8.19. Sakib will be key with the new ball as he can swing it both ways.
