It has been an excellent T20I year for Kuwait. They are among the top 10 teams internationally to win most T20Is in this year so far. Kuwait have won 14 out of 21 matches they played which is 66.66%. An excellent record for an associate team like Kuwait.
Tournament Opener Kuwait played against Saudi Arabia and defeated them by 6 wickets and over three overs remaining. Winning the toss and fielding first, Kuwait did not start well and allowed Saudi Arabia to cross 60 in the fourth over. However, a couple of quick wickets in the fifth over gave them the chance to come back into the game and they never let go of it as they bundled the rest of the Saudi Arabian team cheaply and restricted them to a score of 136. The chase proved to be an easy one as Kuwait cruised to victory in the 17th over with 6 wickets remaining.
Ravija Sandaruwan has 315 runs at a superb 164.92 strike rate and 35 average oi the last 10 games, whereas Clinto Anto adds consistency with 217 runs at a 146.62 SR. In bowling, Yasin Patel is in form with 21 wickets, a 5.1 economy, and 11.38 strike rate. Shiraz Khan impresses with 12 wickets and a 5.75 economy. Kuwait have an excellent head-to-head record against Bahrain and there is no reason they should not continue the same in this game as well. Looks like a very easy win for Kuwait.

Bahrain have not had a good year 2024. Out of the 10 matches they played, Bahrain have lost 8. The two wins have come in the last five T20I's. They started the season of Gulf Cricket T20 Championship 2024 with a loss against the United Arab Emirates.
Winning the toss and batting first against the UAE, Bahrain scored just 113 runs in their 20 overs. Barring Ahmer bin Nasir (58 runs, 42 balls, 6 fours, 2 sixes) no one else contributed to push for a bigger score for Bahrain. As many as 5 batters were out on single digit score. In defense, Bahrain managed to take just two wickets and lost the game in the 17th over. Though some of the bowlers were economical, they had no cushion to play with and thus Bahrain lost comprehensively.
Haider Ali has been in good form, scoring 453 runs in 10 matches at an impressive 64.71 average and 135.22 strike rate. Ahmer Bin Nasir adds firepower with 168 runs and a 134.4 SR. Ali Dawood shines with 16 wickets at 6.07 economy, while Rizwan Butt delivers crucial breakthroughs with 9 wickets at 7.6 economy. Bahrain's head-to-head record against Kuwait is another alarming fact they have lost four of their last five head-to-head matches against Kuwait. Bahrain needs to level their game up so as to have any chance of giving a fight to Kuwait in this game.

We think Kuwait should find it easy to beat Bahrain in this game.
