ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023, Semi-Final 2, UAE vs Oman: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will be squaring off against Oman in the second semi-final of the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023. The high-octane clash will take place at the Mulpani Cricket Ground in Kathmandu on Saturday, April 29.

The UAE were the table-toppers of Group B. They won three games, lost one, and finished with six points to their name. They faced Bahrain in their last group fixture and beat them comprehensively to qualify for the semi-finals.

The bowlers did a fantastic job of knocking over Bahrain on 116 in 40.5 overs. Aayan Afzal Khan continued his rich form with the ball and picked up four wickets, giving away only six runs in his 10 overs.

Chasing the modest total, Vriitya Aravind (62*) and Rohan Mustafa (60*) hit fifties to help the team cross the line comfortably with eight wickets in hand. They will look to emulate their performance in their semi-final clash on Saturday against Oman.

Oman, meanwhile, played four games and won four of those to finish the league stage in second position below Nepal. They finished with six points under their belt. They defeated Saudi Arabia comprehensively in their last group game. It was a high-scoring affair.

Oman’s top five batters notched up half-centuries as they finished their innings on 366/6. Saudi Arabia tried hard, but Oman kept picking up wickets at regular intervals and knocked over their opposition on 294 to win the game by a margin of 72 runs.

Left-arm pacer Bilal Khan starred for them as he picked up a four-fer. They will be hoping to fire in unison against UAE on Saturday.
