It has been a well fought contest so far at the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier and we have another bunch of games today. While 4 matches are scheduled earlier in the day, we have Match 42 scheduled tonight between hosts UAE and Canada. Both teams have had a decent outing so far, with 3 wins in 5 games each. They will want to finish on a high as both will be playing their last round robin game of the qualifier.
Canada began with a bang but they’ve had a couple of losses on the trot right now, while the hosts have won 3 of their last 4 games after losing their opening game. Right now, UAE is slightly higher on the points table with a superior net run rate but those points for the win are all that matters today. Keep reading for our complete Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy preview of the UAE vs CAN game…

Numbers
- Sultan Ahmed – only 1 wicket in 4 games this tournament.
- Nitish Kumar – 234 runs in 5 games this tournament.
- Head to head, these two play for the first time in a T20I.
UAE
Former captain and all-rounder Rohan Mustafa seems to be back at his best with 115 runs and 7 wickets so far in 5 games this tournament, leading the charts for UAE with both bat and ball. There’s no one really close to him on both charts but with the bat, I’d suggest a pick in Chirag Suri as the youngster is talented and was the first UAE player to reach the IPL.
With 83 runs in 5 games, there won’t be many picking batsman Muhammad Usman so he becomes an option too. With the ball, the captain Ahmed Raza has managed a wicket in every game so far, with 5 scalps in 5 games and a best of 5/15, so he’s worth selecting too. Another worthy choice could be left-arm spinner Sultan Ahmed who hasn’t been among the wickets but he bowled a fantastic spell of 4-2-6-0 in the last game.
Canada
Canada gifted a surprise debut to Srimantha Wijeyeratne and his spot is secure now with a free-flowing 56(36) and since he keeps too, we’re expecting Hamza Tariq to be left out and Rizwan Cheema to be given another chance. Pick Wijeyeratne and also select Nitish Kumar with the bat, as he’s been their top scorer with 3 fifties in 5 games. His bowling is an added bonus so far having bowled in every game, with 1 wicket to his name.
Captain Navneet Dhaliwal can also be added to your Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team as there won’t be many takers for him, having scores of 9 and 4 in his last 2 games. With the ball, Dilon Heyliger continues to top the charts with 8 wickets so far. However, on spinning UAE pitches, I’ll want Saad bin Zafar in my team, the latter having 6 wickets in his 4 games thus far in UAE.
