Netherlands had 5 wins in 6 games, finishing second in Group A. UAE had 4 wins in 6 games, finishing third in Group B and they now face off in Playoff 1 in Dubai.
The hosts have the home advantage while Netherlands have a slight edge since they’ve been playing much more international cricket in recent months. UAE is ranked at 13th while Netherlands is ranked 18th in the ICC T20 team rankings. From these 6 teams, 4 have spots to progress to Australia.

Netherlands
Netherlands lost 4 consecutive games to UAE this year, led by Pieter Seelaar who has 75 runs in this tournament; after going wicketless for the first four games, Seelaar can be picked as he has 2 wickets in the last 2 games each. Their leader with the ball is Paul van Meekeren while South African all-rounder and the very experienced Roelof van der Merwe is a good choice since he can bat too; so far, he has 10 wickets in 6 games.
Probably the best associate all-rounder of all time, Ryan ten Doeschate has now dropped bowling to concentrate on his batting and he has 2 fifties in 6 games with 51* in the last round robin game against Scotland. He has 145 runs so far while their leader in this tournament is 185 runs, also having 2 fifties in 6 games. It’s Max O’Dowd who has been in great form including 2 fifties in his first 2 ODIs against Zimbabwe earlier this year.
UAE
Muhammad Usman is the home team’s top scorer of the tournament with 172 runs in 6 games including his best of 89* in the last game. He scored 20* in the game prior to that while also scoring 60* in one of the warm-up games. Their most experienced player has to be former captain Rohan Mustafa who was slightly expensive in the last game, but he’s your captain or vice-captain pick today, with 8 wickets and 115 runs this series.
After picking 3 wickets in his first 5 games, Waheed Ahmed picked 3/21 in the last game and he’s a good pick since he came and smashed a boundary and six in his short stint with the bat too. Captain Ahmed Raza had a wicket in each of his first 5 game and then went wicketless in his last game. With just 5 wickets in 6 games, you can skip captain Raza from your Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team.
