CAN vs UAE match preview:
Canada to face UAE in last 20th The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will be played on Friday, February 13, 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and the match will start at 3:00 PM IST. Furthermore, this Group D clash will provide a perfect opportunity for both United teams to score first points and move away from the lower end of the table. Additionally, the Ahmedabad pitch usually provides extra pace and bounce under lights so fast bowlers from both sides can play a big role in the powerplay. So, the early wickets are likely to set the tone for this high-pressure game.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Canada is currently fifth in the Group D standings with 0 points from 1 game, while the UAE is fourth after losing their first game. Furthermore, Canada suffered a 57-run defeat against South Africa as they failed to control the aggressive batting performance of the Proteas. Likewise, the UAE faced New Zealand in their first match and lost by 42 runs despite their spin bowling showing encouraging signs. Both teams will therefore be heading into this game with urgency as they aim to turn an early defeat into a much-needed victory.
In the last match against South Africa, Canada conceded 213 runs but Kaleem Sana took two wickets with strict bowling. Navneet Dhaliwal, meanwhile, fought hard in the chase to score a gritty 64, but Canada remained well behind against a world-class attack. On the other hand, the UAE’s batting collapsed in the middle overs and despite Mohammad Wasim contributing valuable runs, the required ratio eventually climbed to unattainable levels.

The Canadian team and the UAE team have met twice in T20Is so far. The two teams have won one game each and the head-to-head record is 1-1. Moreover, the two sides have played against each other frequently in the qualifying rounds and know each other well, so this game may become a tactical battle rather than a one-sided contest. Therefore, the winner will not only take a crucial step in Group D, but also break the deadlock and keep the hope of Super 8.
