T20 World Cup 2022: Sri Lanka vs UAE Weather Report, Match prediction ? Who will win today?s T20 WC match?
Sri Lanka vs UAE: Sri Lanka will face the UAE in their second group stage match of the ongoing 2022 T20 World Cup at the GMHBA Stadium on October 18th. Both these teams have suffered unexpected defeats in their respective first matches of the Group Stage so far, and this match will be do-or-die for both of them as another loss will practically mean elimination.?
Sri Lanka was considered one of the favourites to win the competition this year after their phenomenal performance in the Asia Cup 2022 (which they won), but they surprisingly lost their first match of the tournament against Namibia, which was kind of a bummer. They will now have to win against the UAE to survive in this tournament.?
Let us now take a look at all the necessary details about this match.

Sri Lanka vs UAE: Weather Report
South Geelong is expected to have showers on October 18th from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and this might affect the match. Showers will also make the outfield slow, and in that case, the team that bats first will have an advantage. The expected temperature is 19 degrees Celsius, the precipitation is 50%, the humidity is 77%, and the anticipated wind speed is about 19 km/hr.?
Sri Lanka vs UAE: Predicted Lineups
Sri Lanka - Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana.
UAE - Vriitya Aravind, Waseem Muhammad, Chirag Suri, Aryan Lakra, Vishnu Sukumaran, Basil Hameed, Zawar Farid, Aayan Afzal Khan, Karthik Meiyappan, Sultan Ahmed, Sanchit Sharma.
Sri Lanka vs UAE: Winning Prediction
Sri Lanka might have lost their first match of the tournament against Namibia, but there?s no denying that they have been incredible in the last couple of months and that they are totally in form. This Sri Lanka team does not even have a chance against this UAE team, and thus we expected them to defeat UAE almost single-handedly.?
