Nigeria U-19s

Despite fielding their best XI in the match against Sri Lanka U-19s, the Nigerians proved to be no match for the Asian giants. The bowlers and the batsmen, both failed to trouble Nipun Dananjaya and co. in that game. Skipper Sylvester Okpe will expect his men to step up and deliver the goods in the match against U.A.E. U-19s. The African side is unlikely to alter its match squad.

Possible XI: Mba, Olaleye, Runsewe, Danladi, Akhigbe, Okpe, Jimoh, Aho, Audu, Isesele and Abolarin..

UAE U-19s

U.A.E U-19s would have been extremely disappointed with their performance versus Scotland U-19s. Osama Hassan and Vritya Aravind had done the job for them in the batting department yet the poor execution of the bowlers led to the team's defeat. Sanchit Sharma and skipper Aryan Lakra will have the onus of troubling the opposition batsmen in their upcoming game.

Possible XI: Lakra, Aravind, Haider, Figy, Tandon, Sharafu, Hassan, Farazuddin, Palaniapan, Sharma and Tahir.
