Singapore and Kuwait will go up head-to-head in the fifth match of the Asia Cup qualifier on Wednesday (August 24) at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) in Al Amerat, Oman.
Kuwait, captained by Mohammad Aslam, started their campaign with a victory over the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, they slumped to an eight-wicket defeat to Hong Kong in their next outing.
They have to win their next game to have any chance of finishing atop the points table. However, their fate isn't in their own hands any more. Kuwait will need to beat Singapore by a big margin to improve their net run rate, which is -0.421.
Singapore, meanwhile, will look to be party spoilers after getting knocked out of the tournament. They had a golden chance of beating Hong Kong in their first game but failed to do so.
They are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with a net run rate of -1.375. In their previous game, they lost to the UAE by 47 runs. After being asked to chase down 161, Singapore were bowled out for 113 in 18.3 overs.
