United Arab Emirates vs Ireland 1st T20I Match Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

Ireland's trip to the United Arab Emirates began with a 2-1 victory over Italy in a three-match Twenty20 International series. The Irish team will now prepare for a two-match series against the hosts, the United Arab Emirates, which will begin on January 29. Both matches will be played at Dubai's Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This is both sides' last task before the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup.

The UAE will go into this match as the favourites. The United Arab Emirates has dominated the Irish team in prior head-to-head matches, and they will be the clear favourites to win both this match and the series. Ireland, on the other hand, will be hoping to play some quality cricket by taking advantage of the circumstances they faced throughout the series against Italy. Although they are well capable of competing with the UAE, the latter will have a small advantage. Anticipate that the hosts will benefit from the win likelihood meter.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The forthcoming encounter is anticipated to take place on a well-balanced surface at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where batsmen will probably dominate the first half of the game. The lack of moisture in the wicket causes the ball to come to the bat at a rather tough pace, even though chasing isn't a difficult challenge here. As the match progresses, the surface becomes even drier.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Weather Forecast:

No rain is predicted, and clear skies are anticipated. During match hours, the temperature is probably going to be between 22 and 25°C. In the evening, humidity may increase, which helps fast bowlers swing. Playing conditions will be nice due to the anticipated gentle breeze. The weather was generally pleasant and dry, guaranteeing an uninterrupted game.
