- Muhammad Shahdad (UAE, batter): Scored 114 not out against USA and also took 1/32 with the ball. UAE’s best batter on this trip.

Match Prediction
USA should win this one. They have won all five League 2 games against UAE in this cycle, and they have won both their games on this trip. Their top order is in form, with Monank Patel and Milind Kumar both getting hundreds this week. UAE scored 330 last time but then got bowled out for 134 against Namibia. USA have already won the league, so they may try a change or two, but they still look the stronger side. Our pick: USA to win.
