ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia A Qualifier Match 3, Bahrain vs Kuwait: Probable XIs, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report

The third match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia A Qualifiers sees Bahrain locking horns with Kuwait at West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

Bahrain made a winning start to the competition. They defeated Qatar comprehensively in their first game and will look forward to carrying the winning momentum forward. After restricting Qatar to 133 with the ball, the batters did a fine job of chasing down the total in the 14th over with eight wickets in hand. A 106-run opening stand helped them complete a dominant win over the hosts.

Kuwait, meanwhile, will be playing their first match of the competition. Kuwait made their international debut back in 1979 but haven’t featured consistently. They played their first-ever T20I on January 20, 2019, against the Maldives after being granted full T20I status by the ICC in 2018.

Since then, Kuwait have played 15 T20Is, winning seven and losing six of them. They have also been part of two tied contests. Mohammed Aslam will be leading the side in the Qualifiers.
