New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates will face each other in the three-match T20I series starting from August 17. The timing of this series can be questioned but teams are continously keeping their one eye on the T20 World Cup next year even as the ODI World Cup is less than 50 days away from getting underway. It goes without saying that some of the World Cup bound players of the Kiwis are preparing for the upcoming series against England. But this is a great opportunity for the UAE to impress the fraternity with a brilliant show against a full-member nation.

On the other hand, UAE were recently involved in the World Cup Qualifier matches where they defeated the USA by just one run before bowing out of the tournament. The team has named a new captain in Muhammad Waseem for this series and will be itching to make a mark in front of their fans.
