Team Previews
Saudi Arabia Preview
Saudi Arabia bounced back strongly in the second T20 after a close 1-run defeat in the first match. Led by Waji Ul Hassan, the team is built around a solid core of all-rounders and aggressive top-order batters. Faisal Khan, who smashed a match-winning knock in the second game, will once again be key. Their bowling, spearheaded by Zain Ul Abidin and Ishtiaq Ahmad, showed maturity and death-over control. However, consistency remains their challenge, especially in the middle-order where collapses have occurred. With the confidence of chasing a big total in the second game, the Saudis will look to dominate from the outset.
Qatar Preview
Qatar started the series with a thrilling 1-run win but lost momentum in the second match despite putting up a challenging total. Skipper Mirza Baig remains a crucial figure, both with leadership and bat. Saqlain Arshad and Muhammad Tanveer provide stability, while Daniel Louis has emerged as a promising all-rounder. Their bowling lacks penetration beyond the powerplay, which cost them in the last match. Fielding, too, has been below-par at times. If Qatar wants to seal the series, early wickets and minimizing extras will be crucial.
