UAE vs IRE 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

United Arab Emirates will host Ireland for the first of three T20 internationals scheduled to be played between the two sides, at the ICC Academy in Dubai on Thursday, 7th of October. The bilateral encounters form a part of the uniquely designed series of T20Is in the Arab states named UAE Summer Bash 2021, ahead of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Here, I have collated the three best T20I series betting tips for you from the UAE vs IRE match prediction.

Ireland’s preparations for the World Cup continue with their tour of the host country United Arab Emirates. Under the umbrella of the Summer Blast, which essentially is a slew of fixtures between the various teams participating in the ICC mega event, the Irish will clash against UAE thrice before taking part in the World Cup’s warm up matches. They have been drawn alongside Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Namibia in the preliminary round there, with two amongst them set to qualify for the Super 12 stage. Meanwhile, United Arab Emirates find themselves in the unique situation of being the only team in T20 World Cup history to host the event without being a participant, since the competition was originally scheduled to be held in India. Nevertheless, it has provided them the opportunity to compete with world class opposition in these games and will be keen to make the best of it in their rise towards the top. Here are my three best betting tips from the UAE vs IRE match prediction.

UAE vs IRE Player Bets:

The team bets which are usually feasible are all pretty underwhelming with low odds due to how disparate the two teams are in their strengths, especially boundary hitting prowess. Even so, there are plenty of player bets to choose from and after going through all available options, I have found just the perfect tips for you. Here are my carefully selected UAE vs IRE player bets.

Paul Stirling to score over 23.5

It’s quite difficult to become a renowned name unless you are from the top eight cricketing nations, yet Paul Stirling today is a global phenomenon. The batsman has 2,401 runs in 86 T20Is at a brilliant average of 30.78. This includes 18 fifties and a flamboyant 115* scored just over a month ago against Zimbabwe. Stirling has played in an ample 22 T20Is in the UAE, accumulating 763 runs at a whopping average of 40.15. Against the UAE however, he has played just five games, but his tally reads 149 runs averaging 37.25. Moving on to his present form, the 31-year-old since 2019 has racked up 1,000-plus runs boasting an average of 39.25 His latest T20I outing was a five-match series against Zimbabwe in August-September, where he smashed 234 runs at an amazing average of 58.5. Thus, given his red hot form, Paul Stirling should breeze past the score of 23.5 runs. You can capitalize on this UAE vs IRE player bet at Dafabet considering their fantastic odds of 1.87.

Muhammad Usman to score over 17.5

The 35-year-old has had a storied career for the UAE with especially strong numbers in the 50-over format, but his T20I numbers are highly impressive as well. After 40 matches, Usman has accumulated 793 runs at an average of 24.78. At home he has performed better, with an average of 25.44 across 24 matches. Even though the middle-order batsman failed in his initial two outings against Ireland way back in 2016, Usman has registered scores of 24 and 29 in the last two T20Is versus them. Earlier in the year, he had struck a magnificent 102 not-out in an ODI against the Men in Green to help UAE register a famous victory. As for his form, the 35-year-old has 411 runs since 2019 at a decent average of 24.17. He last took to the crease on Wednesday itself against Namibia, stroking a decent 28(27) including two maximums. Thus, while the numbers are not extraordinary, they are still consistent and way above our required mark. You can therefore confidently bet on Mohammand Usman scoring over 17.5 runs in the UAE vs IRE head to head encounter. To act on this player bet tip, head to Dafabet to take up their typically great odds of 1.87.

Waseem Muhammad to score over 17.5

Diverging from the veterans, here is an emerging talent who has been making quite a mark. Waseem Muhamamd was handed his international debut against Namibia on Wednesday, and he stepped up to the plate brilliantly with a classy 39(37), the highest by a UAE batsman on the day. The opener came into the global limelight after an unbelievable 56*(13) in the recently concluded Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. Playing for the Northern Warriors, Muhammad aggregated 212 runs in seven innings, ending up as the event’s fourth highest scorer. His average of 35.33 was miles better than his world class teammates Nicholas Pooran, Fabian Allen and Brandon King among others. Just to drive home how impressive the performance was, other participants in the tournament that were outshone by Muhammad included Chris Gayle, Mohammad Hafeez, Tom Banton and Andre Fletcher. Last year, Waseem had also ended up as the top run-getter in the Emirates D20 league, amassing 534 runs at an average of 53.40. With hopes of eventually playing for his motherland Pakistan, Waseem Muhammad is a star in the making and should easily breach the mark of 17.5 runs against Ireland.
