Pre-Match Analysis:
Riding on with some spectacular bowling show and even a courageous batting work earned home side UAE a straightforward victory over Scotland in the 1st T20I by 8 wickets. Experienced campaigner Junaid Siddique’s 4-fer and spinners Aayan Afzal Khan and Basil Hameed’s 2 wickets each reduced visitors Scotland to a modest 147 runs at the end of 20 overs. Skipper Waseem Muhammad took on the onus right from the word go and finished the game in style with a four-over point region and remained unbeaten on 68*. Upcoming players Tanish Suri and Alishan Sharafu bagged the opportunity scoring a vital 37 and 32 runs respectively. They ticked all the boxes in the series opener and expect a similar show when they take the field on Wednesday in the 2nd T20I.
Scotland should address the issues quickly to make a comeback as there is not much of time left in the series. They lacked intent in the 1st T20I as a result ended up losing the one-sided contest by 8 wickets with 14 balls to spare. Apart from George Munsey’s 49 ball 75 runs, the rest of the batters failed to make noteworthy contributions. Defending a meager 147, their bowlers went clueless in the latter half, failing to provide the necessary breakthroughs. Their big guns Oliver Hairs, Brandon McMullen and Richie Berrington all perished for single-digit scores which impacted them immensely. They know how to deal with the setbacks and eyeing a strong return to level the series 1-1.
