Qatar have been excellent in the T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B. They have won three matches on the trot and have taken the number two spot in the standings with 6 points.
Imal Liyanage has been the team’s standout batter this year, racking up 137 runs in 3 innings at an average of 45.66 and a strike rate of 165.
Muhammad Tanveer and Mohammad Ahnaff have kept things steady in the middle order.
Among the bowlers, look no further than Ikramullah Khan, Qatar’s main strike bowler in the tournament. The left-arm fast bowler has 7 wickets so far at an economy of 5.16. Other options worth backing are Mohammed Aslam and Amir Farooq. Aslam is fresh off a spell of 3-20 in his first game of the tournament.

Bahrain have won two matches and lost one in the tournament so far. They are coming off a huge 90-run win over Bhutan, where they smashed 175-7 and then restricted the opposition to 85-7.
Captain Haider Butt has led from the front and tops the batting charts for Bahrain. He has 155 runs in 3 innings at an average of 77.50 and a strike rate of 125.
The others in the batting unit haven’t done much so far. Ahmer Bin has got some handy runs lower down the order and can play an important part in this match.
The bowling unit has been led by Ali Dawood, who has 7 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of 5.91. The other bowlers, including Imran Anwar, Rizwan Butt, and Imran Khan, have also chipped in with crucial wickets.

West End Park International Cricket Stadium offers a balanced pitch, with something in it for both batters and bowlers. While it favors batters more, it is on the slower side and allows bowlers to get some grip off the deck. Slower ones and cutters will help seamers keep batters in check.
The weather in Doha during the game will be sunny with a gentle breeze.
The average first innings score at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium is 142. The highest total posted here is Qatar’s 206-7 while chasing a target of 204 versus Kuwait in 2019. The team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 140 runs.
Four of the six matches played at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium have been won by the team batting first, including the last one. This might prompt both captains to bat first here.
Qatar have been the team to beat in the Men's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B. They've won all their matches and have a strong team across all departments. Bahrain, while also performing well, rely heavily on Haider Butt for runs. Their bowling attack has many wicket-taking options and if they deliver, Bahrain will be in with a genuine chance. However, we feel that given their winning momentum and the home advantage, Qatar have the edge here.
Back Qatar as the winners of this match.
