UAE vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

UAE and New Zealand are all set to square off in the second game of the three-match T20I series on Saturday, August 19. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host the match.

The Kiwis found themselves in quite a bit of trouble in the opening match but brought forth all their experience to clinch victory by 19 runs.

After being put into bat, the visiting team scored 155 for the loss of six wickets. Tim Seifert was their standout batter, scoring 55 off 34 balls with two fours and three sixes. However, New Zealand kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

In the end, Cole McConchie and Rachin Ravindra played cameos to give the innings a finishing kick. Junaid Siddiqui and Basil Hameed picked up two wickets apiece for the home team.

UAE were well and truly in the run-chase with the help of Aryansh Sharma's 60 off 43 balls, including nine fours and a six. But after he was out, their innings fell apart. Tim Southee picked up his second five-wicket haul in T20Is to ensure victory for New Zealand.
