SA vs UAE Match Preview:

Delhi will host a new competition when South Africa take on UAE for the first time in T20Is in the thirty-fourth match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, 18 February 2026. Furthermore, this Group D match will start at 11:00 AM IST, and South Africa will aim to preserve their unbeaten streak before stepping into the Super 8 stage. The Delhi pitch has troubled the batsmen recently and it has also benefited the spinners a lot in daylight. Therefore, South Africa will probably use their slow bowling resources to control the scoring and force mistakes from the UAE side, who have already shown fighting spirit.

South Africa currently top the Group D points table with six points from three matches, and they have already confirmed their qualification. In contrast, UAE remain in fourth place with two points from three matches and they are officially out of the Super 8 race. Furthermore, South Africa entered the match after defeating New Zealand by seven wickets and completing the chase with almost three overs to spare. However, UAE arrived after losing a closely contested five-wicket match against Afghanistan, where they could not defend 160 despite posting a strong score. As a result, South Africa will look to maintain their dominance, while UAE will look to end their campaign with a stellar performance.

Aiden Markram performed brilliantly against New Zealand by scoring unbeaten 86 off 44 balls and he helped South Africa chase the target with complete control. Additionally, Marco Jansen made a big impact by taking 4 for 40, breaking the top order and sealing the win. UAE, on the other hand, were dependent on Sohaib Khan, who had kept them competitive in the previous match with 68 runs. Furthermore, Muhammad Arfan and Junaid Siddiqui combined to take four wickets, yet they allowed Afghanistan to cross the line in the final over. Since these teams have never faced each other in T20Is, there is an unknown element involved in the contest. Nevertheless, South Africa have strong depth and form, and so they will enter as clear favorites to complete the clean sweep.
