United Arab Emirates vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning
The United Arab Emirates came into this edition with confidence, having won one and lost one in 2024 before bowing out in the Plate Final against South Africa. Even though they couldn’t secure a win in the league stage this season, thanks to the impact of skipper Khalid Shah, and seasoned campaigners like Nilansh Keswani, and Muhammad Farooq, the UAE possess both experience and explosiveness.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka, who arrived with championship confidence after their title-winning run in 2024, are humbled in the group stage already and are out of the Championship race. Under captain Lahiru Madushanka, the side remains stacked with multi-phase contributors - Thanuka Dabare, Dhananjaya Lakshan, and Nimesh Vimukthi making them one of the most complete Sixes squads again this year.
- UAE’s chance of winning is 60%
- SL’s chance of winning is 40%
