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.

Pitch Report

The pitch is expected to remain balanced throughout the game. On paper, Sri Lanka are a better team in all departments in comparison to the United Arab Emirates. They might be able to do better with the bat than they did in the first game. However, the result of the first three matches does suggest that one can’t rule UAE out of the game.

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.
