The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will be aiming to salvage some pride when they take on West Indies in the third ODI of their three-match series. The West Indies team, under Shai Hope’s guidance, have already pocketed the series by thumping the hosts in the first two games at Sharjah.

Team Preview

UAE

UAE will be desperate to gain some much-needed confidence heading into the upcoming 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe. Having already lost the first two fixtures to concede the series to West Indies, the hosts will also be hoping to avoid a 0-3 whitewash at home.

In both defeats, it was UAE’s batting line-up that led them down, despite playing in reasonably favourable conditions for batters. With the series already gone, one can expect the UAE team management to make some changes in the playing XI, in order to find the right balance ahead of the qualifying tournament.

West Indies

The West Indies cricket team is high on confidence, having defeated Muhammad Waseem’s UAE with emphatic margins in both games. Opener Brandon King has taken charge with the bat in the two matches, while each of the utilised bowler has contributed in restricting the hosts on both occasions.

Shai Hope and co. will be aiming to finish the tour with a clean sweep, thus embarking to Zimbabwe with a match-winning intent. Considering the upcoming qualifier and the imminent ODI World Cup in India, one can also expect the West Indies think-tank to try different permutations and combinations within their line-up.
