Pitch report:

The pitch in Abu Dhabi is known to help the spinners. However, in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the faster bowlers have made it difficult for the batters to score runs. In the previous three matches played at this venue, the team batting second have won the contest, so whoever wins the toss will like to field first.

Match Prediction:

Case 1: 

AFG wins the toss and bowls first 

Power play score: 35-40 

NAM total: 130-140

Case 2:

NAM wins the toss and bowls first 

Power play score: 40-45

AFG total: 140-150

Afghanistan to win this match.
