UAE Women vs Hong Kong Women Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 1st T20I match between UAE and Hong Kong?

UAE Women will take on the Hong Kong Women in the first of four T20Is to be played at the Malek Cricket Ground in Ajman on the 27th of April. Both sides have met twice before this series and both games have gone in the favour of the UAE Women in the past. However, Hong Kong Women will be looking to put up a better performance this time around. 

The last meeting between these two teams happened in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier in Dubai last year and it went down write into the wire to find out the winner. UAE posted 128 on the board in their first innings, and Hong Kong came very close to chasing down the total but eventually lost the game by just 11 runs.

Pitch Report

The pitch has generally assisted the batters really well in the recent tournaments and the same could be expected in the upcoming fixture as well. The bowlers will find it difficult to grip the ball as the dew factor is likely to come in later in the day.
