After thumping tournament debutants Cambodia by eight wickets, Kuwait will look to dominate Bahrain in the 14th match of the ongoing ACC Men's T20I Premier Cup 2024. (More Cricket News)
Kuwait started their campaign with a seven-wicket defeat against one of the favourites, the United Arab Emirates. The world no. 26 side then went on to produce a clinical performance against Cambodia, chasing down a 142-run target in just 68 legal deliveries. Opener Ravija Sandaruwan compiled a sublime half-century, 61 off 33.
Bahrain, 27th in the ICC T20I Rankings, have lost both their matches so far -- by three runs against tournament hosts Oman in the opener, then by 37 runs against the UAE. For them, the tough fixtures are over and a win today against Kuwait can revive their campaign.
