Pre-Match Analysis:

UAE got off to a desired start with a win over PNG by 21 runs however failed to make the same impression against USA in their following game and lost by 5 wickets. Asif Khan’s century put them in a good position as they posted 279 runs at the end of 50 overs however their bowlers weren’t able to get the breakthroughs at regular intervals and they suffered a loss with an over to spare. They are currently placed at the 4th spot in the standings with 2 points. The tournament is getting more harder and even a loss from here on will affect the further chances of qualifying.

Canada continues to sparkle with their commendable all-round show. Their bowlers deserved standing applause as they defended marginal scores in both matches against Jersey and USA. In a low-scoring tie, they scripted 26 runs win in their last game against the USA thanks to Kaleem Sana, Saad Bin Zafar, and Harsh Thaker who gave a hard time for the opposition by picking up 8 wickets between them. They proved that they are a strong bowling side and it’s now high time for their batters to show up. With an unbeaten streak, they are placed at the top of the standings with 4 points.
