Preview:
Maldives will go head-to-head against Saudi Arabia in the second match of the T20 World Cup 2022 Asia A Qualifier.

However, they will be eager to showcase their talent to the global audience and should be prepared for the upcoming challenges.
Saudi Arabia, on the other side, will be heading into this match with some talented players on the cards. Given that this is the first match for both the teams, the pitch and the other factors will be largely unknown for them. Hence, there are high chances that this competition will kick start with a cracking contest.
