CAN vs UAE Match Preview:
Canada will face United Arab Emirates in 20th The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 match will take place on Friday, 13th February 2026 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi and the match will start at 3:00 PM IST. Furthermore, this Group D encounter will give both the Associate teams a golden opportunity to register their first points and remove themselves from the bottom end of the standings. Additionally, the Ahmedabad pitch often offers extra pace and bounce under lights, so fast bowlers from both sides can play a major role in the powerplay overs. As a result, early wickets could decide the course of this high-pressure encounter.
Canada are currently placed at the bottom fifth position in the Group D points table with 0 points from 1 match, while UAE are placed fourth after their opening defeat. Furthermore, Canada began their campaign against South Africa and suffered a heavy 57-run defeat after failing to control the Proteas’ aggressive batting performance. Similarly, UAE started their tournament against New Zealand and lost by 42 runs, although they showed encouraging signs with their spin bowling. Therefore, both the teams will go into this match with great determination as they aim to convert their initial setback into a much-needed win.
In their previous match against South Africa, Canada had given up a huge score of 213 runs, although Kaleem Sana had bowled disciplinedly and taken two wickets. Meanwhile, Navneet Dhaliwal fought hard during the chase and scored 64 runs, but Canada still fell well short against a world-class attack. On the other hand, UAE’s batting collapsed in the middle overs, and although Muhammad Wasim contributed valuable runs, the required rate ultimately became beyond reach.
