Although UAE won by a significant margin in the opening match of the series, they can expect a tougher clash in this game. For the Scottish players, the conditions in Dubai are very different to what they typically experience in the UK but they will be better for getting through the opening match.
That said, UAE will fancy their chances of completing a series win at the earliest opportunity, they will just need to put in a similar display of dominance with both bat and ball!
Scotland are a strong up and coming side though, we expect to see them put in a much more competitive display.

UAE were excellent with both the bat and ball in the opening match of the three-game series but this will be a good test of how consistent they can be as they take on Scotland again on Wednesday.
With the ball, the standout performers were Junaid Siddique who took a wicket with the second ball of the match, his final ball of the third over and then returned with two more in the 18th over, Aayan Afzal Khan (2/19) and Basil Hameed (2/26).
Muhammad Waseem was the star show with the bat and the skipper has been performing at a high level for a long while now and it would be no surprise to see him deliver something similar to his 68 not out again in this second match of the series.

If Scotland are to level this series then they will need more than three players to make double-figure scores in this match and will be hoping that three of their batters do not post ducks!
Plenty will rest on opening batter George Munsey who showed how strong a player he is with nine fours and three sixes in his 49-ball 75 on Monday. If one or two batters can keep him company with scores of 30+ then Scotland will go a long way to being competitive in this match.
Only Jack Jarvis and Chris Greaves picked up a wicket each in the opening match of the series but Mark Watt was played with the ultimate respect by UAE's batters who took only 15 runs from his four overs. Watt will need to find a way to pick up wickets in this game to give his country a chance at winning the series.

Clear skies are forecast throughout this game on Wednesday evening in Dubai but that does not mean it will be cold! The temperature will be between 25 and 22 degrees from start to finish with humidity no higher than 35%.

Average TurnFor many years, we have seen the Dubai International Cricket Stadium deliver high scoring international and domestic games irrespective of the format. We expect more of the same in this match with a par score likely to be at least 185-190.
After UAE's comprehensive win when chasing in the first game of the series on Monday, we predict that whichever skipper wins the toss on Wednesday they will choose to bowl first.
We can expect to see Scotland fight hard in this game and it would be a big surprise if they produce such a poor display with both bat and ball in this match. However, UAE are a force to be reckoned with at home and we are predicting another victory for the hosts in this game on Wednesday which will see them take the series at the earliest opportunity.
