UAE vs Netherlands match preview: UAE and Netherlands will take on each other in the 2nd match of the qualifying round of T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday (October 16). The two teams' first job will be to qualify for the next round of the tournament that kickstarts on October 22. The first match of the opening round will be played between Sri Lanka and Namibia. UAE are returning to T20 World Cup after a gap of 8 years. They last featured in the mega event in 2014. They had a disastrous campaign back then, losing all 3 matches in the opening round itself.
On the other hand, Netherlands played the last T20 World Cup in UAE but could not make it to the Super 12 stage. They, however, are a very good side among the associate nations and would pose a big challenge to UAE.

As far as their head to head battle is concerned, both teams have played each other 8 number of times, both winning 4 times each. In their last encounter, Netherlands had beaten UAE by 8 wickets. The Dutch also beat UAE in their one and only T20 World Cup match vs each other back in 2014. They will be aiming to continue this good run against the Asian side. What's more baffling is that every time UAE has played Netherlands in Netherlands, they have each time. UAE have played Netherlands 4 times in their own backyard and beaten them as well. Interestingly, Netherlands have played UAE twice in UAE and they too have beaten them on their home soil.
