ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023, 9th Place PlayOff, USA vs UAE Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

The 9th Place Play-Off at the ICC World Cup Qualifiers will see the United States take on the United Arab Emirates at the Takashinga Sports Club in Harare. The winner of this clash will finish the Qualifiers in the ninth place.

After remaining winless in the group stages of the Qualifiers, United States faced Ireland in the Seventh Place Play-Off Semi-Final but were beaten comprehensively. As a result, they will now play the Ninth Place Play-Off against the United Arab Emirates and will hope to fire in unison.

After being put in to bat, the United States’ batters faltered in their last match as they got bundled out on 196, with Saiteja Mukkamalla top-scoring with 55. The bowlers picked up four wickets but the Irish side proved to be too strong for them as Balbirnie’s men chased down the total in 34.2 overs.

The United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, were placed in Group B of the Qualifiers and failed to win a single game as they finished at the bottom of the points table. They faced Nepal in the Seventh Place Play-Off Semi-Final, which ended up being a closely fought contest with the United Arab Emirates finishing on the losing side.

Although skipper Vriitya Aravind scored 44, a lack of contributions from the other end saw them get knocked out on 181. The bowlers then picked up seven wickets in total but failed to close out the game as Nepal got across the line in the 44th over.
