United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh Betting Odds

Bangladesh to have a better opening partnership than United Arab Emirates

United Arab Emirates and Bangladesh head into this series after both sides squared off back in 2022 in this format. United Aram Emirates have looked great in this format as they have won 13 of the last 14 games and would be hoping to carry on their form in this series against a team that they are yet to beat in this format. On the other hand, Bangladesh did not have a great 2024, they lost the series against India 3-0 but in the last series against West Indies they dominated the games away from home and won the series 3-0. Bangladesh have three wins in three games against UAE and we expect them to dominate this series and to have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Bangladesh

Even though United Arab Emirates head into this series after an impressive run in T20 format, they have struggled against Bangladesh in the past and are yet to register a win in this fixture. The bookmakers have sided with Bangladesh and you should do the same as they would take a 1-0 lead come May 17.
