Match 20 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will see Canada take on the United Arab Emirates in a crucial Group D clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday, February 13.
Both teams enter this contest searching for their first points of the tournament after disappointing starts. Canada were outplayed by South Africa in their opener, suffering a 57-run defeat, while UAE endured a crushing 10-wicket loss against New Zealand despite posting a competitive total.
With Super 8 qualification hopes on the line, expect an intense battle between two associate sides desperate to get their campaigns back on track.
Canada Team News
Canada showed flashes of promise against South Africa, with Navneet Dhaliwal leading the charge with the bat. However, the lack of partnerships and a disciplined bowling effort hurt them in key moments.
Led by Dilpreet Bajwa, Canada will be hoping for a sharper all-round performance in Delhi as they aim to bounce back quickly.
UAE Team News
The UAE began their tournament with a strong batting display against New Zealand, scoring over 170 runs thanks to half-centuries from captain Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu.
However, their bowling attack struggled badly as New Zealand chased down the target without losing a wicket. UAE will need early breakthroughs and better execution with the ball if they are to challenge Canada.
Muhammad Waseem is also closing in on a personal milestone, needing only a few more sixes to join an elite T20I list.
