Kuwait Preview
Kuwait began this qualification round losing by 58 runs to Nepal. They will now hope to return to winning ways against Japan. Prior to their last game, they had experienced an exceptional run at the Twenty20 Quadrangular, where they defeated Nepal by three runs in the final. They have now won eight of their last eleven T20I games, and that momentum will likely propel them in this game, despite their recent setback. With Usman Patel and Mohammed Aslam still in great form, I expect this side to continue their beautiful run in this game.
Key Players: Usman Patel, Mohammed Aslam, Clinto Anto, Meet Bhavsar.

Japan Preview
Japan will be playing their first game of this qualification round, and the results they have achieved so far should give them the motivation they need ahead of this game. Their previous game, prior to this one, was a 35-run loss to Hong Kong in the final of the East Asia Cup. They had a good experience in the game, finishing second in their group, but they couldn’t do much in the final. They have now managed just two wins in their last six games in this format.
Key Players: Kendel Fleming, Declan Suzuki, Lachlan Lake, Sabaorish Ravichandran, Wataru Miyauchi.
