United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bangladesh face off in the second and final T20I of the ongoing series in Dubai on September 27, Tuesday. Bangladesh have their noses in front after winning the first T20I by 7 runs in a last-over thriller, defending a target of 159.

It was Afif Hossain for Bangladesh, who steered them to over 150 with an unbeaten fifty. Skipper Nurul Hasan gave the finishing touches with a strong 35* off 25. UAE came close to scripting a famous chase as the equation came down to 11 needed off six balls. But pacer Shoriful Islam held his nerve in the last over and got the last two wickets in the third and fourth ball respectively to win the match for the visitors.

Pitch Report

The wicket at Dubai International Cricket Stadium generally offers an even contest between bat and ball. Over the last year or so, it has been observed that it gets easier to bat on in the second innings on this surface. In the last year, the teams batting first won the game five times, while teams chasing won it a staggering 18 times. Needless to say, the team winning the toss must opt to bowl first.

Probable Playing XIs:

UAE

Muhammad Waseem, Chirag Suri, Aryan Lakra, Vriitya Aravind (wk), CP Rizwan (c), Basil Hameed, Aayan Afzal Khan, Zawar Farid, Karthik Meiyappan, Junaid Siddique, Sabir Ali

Bangladesh

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Sabbir Rahman, Litton Das, Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan (c&wk), Nasum Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter

Afif Hossain

The 23-year-old allrounder, Afif Hossain, is having his most prolific year with the bat for Bangladesh. In 2022, he has scored 323 runs in 11 T20Is, at an average of 40.37 with two fifties. He was also the top scorer in the first T20I with an unbeaten 77 off 55, including seven fours and three sixes. Given the top-order woes that Bangladesh are going through at the moment, he might have to get the Tigers out of the jail yet again.

Probable Best Bowler

Mustafizur Rahman

Mustafizur Rahman always carries a threat to the opposition in the white ball circuit. He is often economical and builds pressure by landing dot balls before batters succumb to it. The left-arm pacer has taken 94 wickets in 72 T20Is with an economy rate of 7.73 and best figures of five for 22. In the first T20I, he got two wickets, including the key scalp of CP Rizwan.
