The United Arab Emirates head into this clash against Japan riding a wave of momentum in the Super Six stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier. After a shaky run that saw a couple of losses against Nepal and Oman respectively, UAE bounced back emphatically with a commanding win over Samoa by 77 runs.
Japan, meanwhile, have showed flashes of promise but remain inconsistent. They secured a tight win over Samoa and pulled off impressive chases (for example, their 5-wicket win chasing 178 against Kuwait) during the group stae, but have also tasted close defeats, such as losing to Qatar. They will look to win their remaining two matches in the Super Six.
