UAE will be up against Oman at the same venue where they previously met in the tournament. Oman came out on top that day with a 9-wicket win in a rain-affected match as they chased down a 143-run target in just 12.4 Overs.
UAE have turned things around since that loss. They not only won back-to-back matches but have done it in style. Their bowlers who picked up just 1 wicket against Oman, were brilliant in the next two games.
Oman will be concerned about their batting as they meet UAE once again. Playing against Hong Kong in the semi-final, Oman lost 5 wickets on their way to a 131-run target.
The pitch at this venue is assisting the bowlers more since the last few matches and both semi-finals saw bowlers have the upper hand. As such, the Final of the ACC Men’s T20I Premier Cup promises to be a close and exciting contest.

Muhammad Waseem, after back-to-back impactful knocks at the top, was out cheaply in the last match while chasing a small target against Nepal.
His opening partner Alishan Sharafu was unbeaten on 55 off 41 balls ensuring UAE crossed the winning line. The skipper will be content with the team’s performance even if he failed to deliver with the bat.
The opposition had a deep batting lineup with some in-form and big-hitting players. And it was this strength that put Nepal ahead in our semi-final match prediction.
However, UAE bowlers had different plans as they struck regularly reducing Nepal to 89 for 7 in the 15th Over. All of their 6 bowlers picked up at least one wicket as UAE restricted Nepal to just 119 runs.
Junaid Siddique, Aayan Khan, and Muhammad Farooq are the usual suspects in this bowling attack, expected to deliver breakthroughs.
However, the likes of Basil Hameed and Omid Rahman are also enjoying success and can be the game-changers for UAE. Vishnu Sukumaran played a good hand at number 3 and it seems like he’s got the hang of things on this pitch and can adapt his approach accordingly.

Oman have been unbeaten so far in this tournament. The last time they played UAE at this venue, Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt ensured that UAE finish with a below-par score after skipper Zeeshan Maqsood opted to bowl first.
Maqsood did the same in the semi-final too. And this decision to bowl first will be a crucial one in the Final as well. UAE have comfortably won their last two matches when they were bowling first.
And if Oman put them to bat first, they could potentially repeat the scenario from their previous encounter. Along with the two aforementioned bowlers, Aqib Ilyas is another major figure in the bowling attack to watch out for.
Zeeshan Maqsood has found some success in recent outings with the ball. And he will play a key role in the Final. In the batting department, the top 3 are power-hitters who can get Oman off to a flying start.
Kashyap Prajapati, Naseem Khushi, and Aqib Ilyas are key to Oman’s success with the bat. While Aqib Ilyas scored 62 off 51 in the last match, it was Khalid Kail who scored an unbeaten 50 off 23 balls at number 3 against UAE.
There are different options for number 3 in this lineup and Maqsood could send the right player depending on the situation. In the middle-order, there is wicket-keeper batter Prateek Athavle and skipper Zeeshan Maqsood.
Not just these two but even number 6 batter Ayaan Khan has the ability to score quick runs and help Oman finish on a high.

The pitch has assisted bowlers a great deal in recent games and it has been increasingly difficult to score runs on this surface. It will be a sunny day with a high of 31 degrees Celsius on the match day in Al Amerat.
Al Amerat Cricket Ground ( Ministry Turf 1) will host the Final between UAE and Oman. The recent matches at this venue have been low-scoring affairs where the team bowling first had the upper hand. A match-winning total should be something over 165 runs at this venue.
There is no doubt that the team winning the toss should and will most likely opt to bowl first. The bowlers seem to be dominating things at the venue and bowling setting up a competitive target is a big ask.
As the tournament progressed into its business end, picking a winner got more trickier than before. And in this match, there is very little to pick between these two equally competitive and in-form sides. We believe the toss will play a huge role in this match and the team bowling first should have the advantage in this match.
However, with a slightly stronger batting lineup, Oman will start as favorites in our match prediction for the Final.
