QAT vs SDA Match Prediction & Analysis
Qatar will take on Saudi Arabia in their last league stage match of the ACC Men’s T20I Premier Cup, 2024. With just one win so far, Qatar’s chances of finishing in the top 2 of the Group A points table are very low.
Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, have won one of their two matches so far and a win here will help them maintain their spot in the top 2. After failing to chase a 147-run target against Malaysia, Saudi Arabia’s batters bounced back as 3 of their top 4 batters helped them post a 202 runs total.
Gayan Munaweera and Himanshu Rathod will be the key bowlers for Qatar going into this match. Along with their skipper Muhammad Tanveer, other lower middle-order batters also look in fine touch.
Overall, it will be a close contest between two equally matched teams. Though Qatar have won just 1 of their 3 matches so far, they’ve looked very promising and with the recent win, we expect them to pose an even tougher challenge in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Qatar Preview
Qatar ed a 4-wicket in their last match that was affected by rain. It was a low-scoring game where the bowlers had the upper hand. In a very close game that went right to the last over, Qatar emerged victorious.
And as they come into this match, skipper Muhammad Tanveer will be more confident with his team’s bowling. After having conceded 200+ in two consecutive matches, the bowlers managed to restrict the opposition to 151 runs in the last match.
They were up against a strong Malaysian lineup. Gayan Munaweera and Himanshu Rathod were the star bowlers for Qatar. The opposition has a strong batting lineup that has recently found its rhythm and will be confident coming into this match.
There have been some high-scoring games on this ground including Qatar conceding 200+ against Nepal. However, we expect the pitch to get a little slower after all these matches.
While opening batsman Saqlain Arshad is struggling to get runs, his opening partner Kamran Khan has delivered some good starts.
Mohammad Tanveer, Shahzaib Jamil, and Mohammed Irshad are the key middle-order players to watch out for. These 3 were crucial in Qatar’s successful run chase in the last match.
Qatar Predicted Playing XI:
Kamran Khan, Saqlain Arshad, Mohammad Ahnaff, Muhammad Tanveer (c), Mohammed Irshad, Gayan Munaweera, Amir Farooq, Himanshu Rathod, Shahzaib Jamil (wk), M Ikramullah Khan, Musawar Shah

Saudi Arabia Preview
It isn’t a do-or-die situation for Saudi Arabia like Qatar. However, a win here would strengthen their position at number 2 in the points table. This will be their first match at this venue in this tournament.
Their last two matches were at the Ministry Turf 2. Abdul Waheed, Faisal Khan, and Manan Ali were the key performers for the team in their recent win. Manan Ali in particular was exceptional with an 18-ball 44 runs knock at number 4.
The change in weather seems to be affecting the game quite a bit. The overcast conditions will likely help the seamers and the match could potentially be a low-scoring one.
Zain Ul Abidin and Usman Najeeb were the top bowlers for Saudi Arabia in their recent win where they bowled out Hong Kong for 147 runs while defending 202. Usman Najeeb was the top bowler for the team in their opening game as well and has picked up a total of 6 wickets so far.
Ishtiaq Ahmad and Ahmad Raza are other key bowlers to watch out for in this bowling attack. Saudi Arabia should be a formidable force going ahead in this tournament.
Saudi Arabia Predicted Playing XI:
Abdul Waheed Ghaffar, Faisal Khan, Abdul Manan Ali (wk), Hisham Sheikh (c), Waji Ul Hassan, Saad Khan, Usman Khalid, Zain Ul Abidin, Usman Najeeb, Ishtiaq Ahmad, Ahmad Raza

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a balanced wicket where batters have enjoyed scoring runs and we’ve witnessed some high-scoring encounters. However, recently bowlers are slowly coming back into the game and they seem to be having the upper hand at times. There will be scattered showers in Al Amerat on the match day with a high of 28 degrees Celsius and this could work in favor of the bowlers.
QAT vs SDA Pitch Report
Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) will be the venue for this match between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. There are plenty of runs on offer here and the team batting first should be looking to make the most of the conditions. If they can cross the 180-run mark, we reckon, they will be in a strong position to win the match.
Toss: To Bowl
Batting first and having runs on the board can give the batting team an advantage. It is getting difficult to score runs as the league progresses and with the overcast conditions, we reckon chasing a big score can be trickier.
QAT vs SDA
Winning Prediction
It is a close contest between these two sides with in-form players in every department. There are some promising batters in both teams but Saudi Arabia’s slightly ahead as far as the bowling is concerned. As a result, Saudi Arabia will start as favorites in our match prediction.
