UAE recently featured in the ICC Cricket World Cup qualifier playoffs. They have been playing well recently. They will be high in confidence heading into the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023. Muhammad Waseem will lead the team featuring a few experienced campaigners.
Kuwait, meanwhile, recently played in the Hong Kong OD Series. They qualified for the final but came up short against the hosts. In a close-fought contest, they lost by five runs.
