UAE vs BAN Match Prediction - Who will win today’s 2nd T20I match between UAE and Bangladesh?

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is all set to host Bangladesh (BAN) in the second T20I of the three-match series, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday, May 19. The visitors currently lead the series by a 1-0 margin after a brilliant 27-run win in the series opener on Saturday.

The star performer of the first match was Parvez Hossain Emon, who smashed a brilliant 53-ball century, only the second by a Bangladeshi in T20Is, to propel his team to 191/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Emon’s knock, laced with five fours and nine sixes, broke the national record for most sixes in a T20I innings, surpassing Rishad Hossain’s previous best. In the bowling department, UAE's Muhammad Jawadullah picked up a four-wicket haul.

In reply, the hosts started their chase well, thanks to a quick 54 from skipper Muhammad Waseem and a 42 from Asif Khan. However, Bangladesh's bowlers backed themselves, especially in the death overs, and bundled out the opposition at a score of 164. Hasan Mahmud picked up 3/33, while Mustafizur Rahman conceded just 17 in four overs, sealing the win for Bangladesh.

Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Parvez Hossain Emon

Bangladesh opener Parvez Hossain Emon could be the best batter in the upcoming second T20I against the UAE team. In the first game, while wickets were falling from one end, Emon held on to one end firmly and registered his maiden international ton in just 53 balls. He laced his innings with five boundaries and nine towering sixes before being a victim of Muhammad Jawadullah's delivery. The southpaw will be looking to take the same form in the upcoming match.

Probable Best Bowler: Muhammad Jawadullah

Pacer Muhammad Jawadullah looked in great touch in the opening fixture. The left-arm pacer picked up a four-wicket haul and restricted the Bangladeshi batters under the 200-run mark. The side will once again bank on him to pick crucial wickets in the final match of the series.
