OUR PREDICTION
UAE have done brilliantly in the qualifiers by beating
Afghanistan and are looking confident as a unit. Online Cricket bet tips They, however,
lack much needed experience which comes handy while playing in such a big
tournament. While UAE will take lessons from its recent victory to try and
cause an upset here, we feel that Sri Lanka’s experience and confidence will
give them the edge to emerge victorious here on Thursday.
