What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
USA
USA are 25-29 on the win-loss record in ODI cricket over their entire history. In more recent times they have shown better form, having won three of their previous five matches, after having lost six games on the trot before that. Not to mention they made the Super Eight stage of the ICC T20 World Cup before that.
They have six points from five matches after winning their opening game here against Namibia and are fifth on the WCL League 2 2024 points table.
UAE
UAE have played a total of 111 ODIs in their entire history coming into this competition and have a 37-73 win-loss record. In more recent times, they have lost 12 of their last 13 ODIs and are in a bit of a rut that they will look to overturn in this tournament.
As a result of that they are currently last on the World Cricket League 2 2024 points table having played and lost all three, making them the only team who have yet to open their account.
Quick UAE v USA ODI Preview
It’s interesting to see that the bookmakers have put USA as only minor favourites at 4/5 despite what has happened in recent times.
On the one hand, the highly experienced UAE side has struggled to get going and lost matches galore, while on the other, USA has turned things around drastically beginning with their performance in the T20 World Cup and continuing in the tri-series in Netherlands.
And now, in the first game of this tri-series they went one better by defeating hosts Namibia as well.
It wasn’t just the victory that will enthuse the USA cricket fans, it’s the nature of the win. USA were clinical in their bowling, not allowing Namibia to ever get away from their clutches and restricted them to 199/9.
Captain Monank Patel then then hit a match-winning 72 and combined with Saiteja Mukkamalla to take USA home with 51 balls to spare. That will not just help them inch up the points table but also raise their net run-rate as they bid to qualify for the next stage of the World Cup Qualifiers.
Can the Muhammad Waseem-led UAE side turn their fortunes around against the confident USA?
