United Arab Emirates vs West Indies Team Preview

United Arab Emirates

UAE is a competitive team, especially at home, and they will be optimistic about their chances against a West Indies team that is underprepared. But in this game, they must perform at their very best.

This is a crucial series for the UAE, who want to be in excellent form for the 2023 World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe later this month. They have an experienced team, and there are no injuries on the roster for this match.

West Indies

While beating South Africa by 48 runs in the match before, West Indies lost their most recent ODI. Despite not having their full-strength side, they should still be far better than UAE.

With several of the players on the tour of South Africa earlier this year not included in the roster for this series, the West Indies will face numerous changes from their last ODI. Dominic Drakes is expected to be one of the few debutants.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium

In ODIs at this location, teams batting second have a little better record than those batting first, but the difference is not very significant. In Sharjah, we anticipate that both teams would want to take the field first.

Although the temperature will fall as the match proceeds, it will start at 36 degrees and will not fall below 32 degrees during the game.

It is a sluggish pitch in Sharjah, and any first innings score of more than 270 is expected to be difficult to follow down. The wicket should provide some help to spinners.
