The 2019 United Arab Emirates Tri-Nation Series was the third round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament and took place in the United Arab Emirates in December 2019.[1] It was a tri-nation series between Scotland, the United Arab Emirates and the United States cricket teams, with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[1] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[2][3] The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the fixtures for the tri-series in November 2019.[4]
The United Arab Emirates named a squad for the opening match of the series that contained six cricketers who had not played in an ODI match before.[5] The UAE were forced to make changes to their side, following a corruption investigation that impacted the team during the 2019 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier.[6] As a result of the enforced changes, in the opening match the UAE fielded a team with the youngest average age for their national team.[7]
G. S. Lakshmi was named as the match referee for the opening fixture of the series,[8] becoming the first woman to oversee a men's ODI match.[9]
The United States won their first three matches. The third ODI between the UAE and Scotland was washed out.[10]
