UAE vs WI, 1st ODI Preview

The first of three One-Day International (ODI) matches between the UAE and the West Indies begins on Sunday afternoon in Sharjah. The UAE last played an ODI at the beginning of last month, when they were defeated by Nepal by 7 wickets. In March, the West Indies were defeated by South Africa by four wickets in an ODI. UAE is a competitive team, especially at home, and they will be optimistic about their chances against a weakened West Indies team. They will, however, need to perform at their peak in this match. West Indies lost their previous ODI against South Africa by 48 runs in East London. Despite not having their full strength side, they should be far too good for UAE.

It is a slow pitch in Sharjah, and any first innings score of more than 270 is likely to be difficult to chase down. The wicket should provide some assistance to spinners.

Topmost Picks for UAE vs WI Dream11 Prediction, 1st ODI:

Top Picks – United Arab Emirates

• Muhammad Waseem- the skipper has hit over 1000 ODI runs across his career including one hundred and six half-centuries.
• Junaid Siddique- the medium fast bowler has an excellent ODI record and has taken 6 wickets from 3 ODIs at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Top Picks – West Indies

• Shai Hope- the skipper has never quite mastered Test cricket or T20Is but is a brilliant and consistent ODI batter. He has hit 14 ODI centuries.
• Dominic Drakes- the left-arm pace bowler caught the eye for Yorkshire Vikings in last year’s T20 Blast. He bowls with good pace and gets late movement.

UAE vs WI 1st ODI Probable Winners:

This will be an exciting first match of the series, with UAE playing in front of their home fans against West Indies, who are missing several key players. Brooks has a best ODI score of 101 not out and has five 50+ scores in his 23 innings. We anticipate UAE to have some strong moments, but we doubt they will be able to maintain their level throughout the match. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.
