UAE vs NZ Match Prediction – Who will win today's 2nd T20I match between UAE vs New Zealand?

After winning the first T20I, New Zealand will be eager to seal the series against UAE as the two teams lock horns in the second T20I on Saturday, August 19 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The Blackcaps were given tough competition by UAE in the first game as they could only manage to score 155/6 batting first. In the second innings, UAE needed just 72 runs off the last ten overs having six wickets in hand.

However, their lack of experience in chases led to their loss by 19 runs. The Muhammad Waseem-led side will look to correct their mistakes in the second fixture and beat the Kiwis in the second game. The fixture promises to be another mouth-watering clash as both teams will be seen giving their all on the field.
