Preview
Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates will play the sixth game of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Tuesday (October 18) at the Simonds Stadium in Geelong. Sri Lanka lost their first game against Namibia by 55 runs. Namibia scored 163 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs and restricted Sri Lanka to just 108 runs in 19 overs. The Sri Lankan batters, who had a great run in the Asia Cup 2022, failed to carry the same momentum in the tournament. The bowlers also had an off day as none of the batters apart from Pramod Madushan picked more than one wicket.
The United Arab Emirates lost a low-scoring thriller against the Netherlands. UAE scored 111 runs for the loss of eight wickets in 20 overs. In reply, the Netherlands chased this target but it took them 19.5 overs to complete the job with three wickets in hand. This will only be the second T20I game between the two teams. Their first and only game against each other came during the Asia Cup 2016 which Sri Lanka won by a mere margin of 14 runs after posting a total of 129 runs on the board.

Player Picks
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
He made a half-century in the warm up game against Zimbabwe and helped Sri Lanka post a total of 188 runs. In the first game, he was dismissed for nine runs and didn’t provide the expected start to the team. However, he has been one of the best performers for Sri Lanka in recent times and is one of the best captaincy picks for this game.
Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL
The hero of the Asia Cup 2022 failed to pick a wicket in the warm up game but did contribute 37 runs with the bat. In the first game, he managed to pick up one wicket for 27 runs in four overs. Sri Lanka will be hoping for a better performance from him in this game.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa SL | BAT
He has made 241 runs in ten T20I games this year at an average of 30.12 and a strike rate of 138.50. He scored a half-century in the final of the Asia Cup and helped Sri Lanka lift the trophy. He made 20 runs off 21 deliveries in the last game and will be eager to make a significant contribution.
