Qatar enter this tournament on the back of some terrific form. In the recently concluded T20 World Cup Asia QLF B, they finished second with five wins from six games.
Qatar have a strong batting unit with many in-form batters. Imal Liyanage was the team’s standout batter in the World Cup Asia Qualifier, racking up 230 runs in 6 innings at an average of 38.33 and a strike rate of 153.
Mohammad Ahnaff and Muhammad Tanveer are also worth backing as they were among the runs too in the tournament, amassing more than 200 runs respectively.
Among the bowlers, look no further than Ikramullah Khan, Qatar’s main strike bowler in the Asia Qualifier. The left-arm fast bowler took 10 wickets an economy of 6.70 in the tournament and will be relied upon to deliver wickets here. Other options worth backing are Arumugaganesh Nagarajan and Amir Farooq.

Oman’s recent form has been terrible. They have lost four of their last five T20Is and would be looking to end the year on a positive note.
Oman recently suffered a 1-2 T20I series defeat at their home ground against the Netherlands. Despite the loss, Oman can take some encouragement from the series, notably Hammad Mirza's performance with the bat. He topped the run charts, accumulating 94 runs across 3 innings at a 140.29 strike rate. Mirza's contribution will be paramount for Oman in the tournament.
Oman will likely have Aamir Kaleem and Jatinder Singh open the batting. Kaleem, with a 151 strike rate in the series against the Dutch, looks like a good bet for an aggressive start.
All-rounders Shakeel Ahmed and Sufyan Mehmood are two more players to keep an eye on. This duo has been consistently getting wickets recently and have also been contributing with the bat.
Muzahir Raza and Jay Odedra are solid choices on the bowling side.

The ICC Academy Ground in Dubai generally provides a fair contest between bat and ball in T20s. Spinners might find a little help as the game goes on, but the pitch is usually favorable for batting the whole way through. Fast bowlers can get the ball to swing a bit in the opening overs, but it's nothing too extreme. The outfield is quick, so batters who get themselves in can really pile on the runs.
The forecast predicts hot and sunny weather during the game.
Teams batting first at the ICC Academy Ground usually put up around 156 runs on average. Papua New Guinea hold the record for the highest score at this ground, racking up 197/7 against Namibia in 2019, a game they won comfortably by 81 runs. Teams batting first here will likely aim for a target of 160 runs.
Three of the five T20Is played at the ICC Academy Ground have been won by the chasing side. This suggests that the venue favors the side fielding first.
Qatar and Oman have clashed only twice in T20Is, with each side claiming a victory. However, this year, Qatar have built up some solid momentum and will be one of the teams to beat. In contrast, Oman have been finding it tough to get their game going and will have to exceed expectations if they want to get the better of Qatar. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, we're tipping Qatar to win this one.
