Qatar are having a tough time in the Gulf Cricket T20I Championship, having suffered three losses on the trot, the last of which came against Kuwait. They are languishing at the bottom of the standings and will need a special effort from here to make a comeback.
Qatar's batting lineup has been a letdown so far, with Muhammad Asim being the lone bright spot. He's scored 123 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 160, and the team will be hoping he can continue this form.
Imal Liyanage is another player who's shown promise, particularly in the match against Kuwait where he hit a smooth 69 off 56 balls. The rest of the batting order needs to step up their game, and fast.
Mohammad Ahnaff and Muhammad Tanveer are also worth keeping an eye on, given their decent run-scoring form this year.
On the bowling front, Qatar has been underwhelming, although Mohammed Nadeem, Himanshu Rathod, and Mujeeb-ur-Rehman have shown glimpses of their ability. Ikramullah Khan is a talented strike bowler who could make a difference in this match.

The ICC Academy Ground in Dubai is a venue that tends to produce evenly matched T20 contests, with neither batters nor bowlers holding a distinct advantage. The pitch remains generally favorable to batting throughout the match, but spinners may start to exert some influence as the game wears on. Fast bowlers might find a touch of swing in the first couple of overs but won't find much help after that.
According to the forecast, sunny and warm weather is expected for the match.
The average score in the first innings at the ICC Academy Ground is around 156 runs. The highest total at the venue is Oman's 204-5 against Qatar in this series, resulting in a 35-run victory. Teams that bat first here are expected to set a target around 160 runs.
This series has shown that the ICC Academy Ground favors the side chasing. So both captains are likely to field first.
U.A.E. have been the team to watch in the Gulf Cricket T20I Championship, and they'll be looking to keep their momentum going when they take on a struggling Qatar next. Qatar, however, have their work cut out for them - they've been underwhelming in all departments and have a dismal record against U.A.E. in T20Is, having never tasted victory against their opponents. To have any chance of winning, Qatar will need to produce a truly exceptional performance. Given the current state of both teams, U.A.E. are the favorites to win this match, and it's hard to see Qatar causing an upset.
Back U.A.E. as the winners of this contest.
