UAE vs WI Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for 1st ODI Match
UAE will take on West Indies in the first ODI of a three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, on Sunday. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the UAE vs WI Dream11 prediction, including fantasy cricket tips, today's playing 11s, and the pitch report for this game.
UAE have played quite a lot of ODI cricket this year. They’ve played a total of 17 ODI matches and have earned a win-loss record of 8-9. There were a few more 50-over games which were not listed as ODIs.
UAE reached the final of the ACC Men's Premier Cup 2023 and they finished second in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023. This helped them book a place in the main round of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers, which will be played in Zimbabwe.
On the other hand, West Indies have played just one ODI series this year and that was in South Africa, which ended 1-1 as the first ODI was washed out. They have won just two out of their last 15 ODIs.
The Caribbean side finished ninth on the ODI Super League points table and that has forced them to play the qualifiers. Thus, this series could act as a good preparation for the Windies ahead of the all-important 10-team tournament.

Pitch Report
