United Arab Emirates vs Netherlands T20 World Cup 2022: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will take on the Netherlands in the second match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Kardinia Park in Geelong on Sunday, October 16. UAE have qualified for the T20 World Cup for only the second time - their previous appearance was in 2014. As such, they will be all that more keen to make an impact.

The Dutch were part of the T20 World Cup last year, but they had a forgettable time. They lost all three of their matches in the group stage and made an early exit from the tournament. They will be hoping to put up a much better performance in this year's T20 World Cup.

Looking at the head-to-head record of the two teams in T20Is, UAE and Netherlands have met eight times, with both teams winning equal number of games. In ICC events, though, the Dutch have done better. They have won three of the four meetings between the two sides.
