UAE vs Kenya Match Winner Prediction
UAE are the favourites to win this match coming off a dominant 7 wicket victory over Nigeria in their last match. UAE bowled out Nigeria for just 58 runs and chased it down in 4.5 overs. It is an important match for them in context of qualification for the finals as a win here will seal the top two spot for them.
Kenya won their last match against Namibia A by three wickets, but the points for this win doesn't add up. They are at 3rd place with just one win in three matches. A loss here means Kenya are knocked out from the series. A better performance is expected from the Kenyan side in this fixture. But if you take into consideration the current form of both the teams, it should be an easy win for UAE.
