New Zealand vs UAE match preview:
New Zealand will take on Match 11 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with the match scheduled to start at 3:00 PM IST. Therefore, this Group D game will be a match between a strong full-strength team against a dynamic secondary, which could decide the chances of qualifying early in the group stage. Additionally, the pitch in Chennai often provides assistance to spinners and batsmen as the match progresses, so teams need to adjust their strategies accordingly to exploit the conditions effectively.
New Zealand currently top the Group D standings after winning their opening match, while the UAE are yet to play their first match of the tournament. New Zealand played their last game against Afghanistan and they won by 5 wickets to equalize 183 runs. In that match, Tim Seifert scored 65 and Glenn Phillips contributed 42 to help New Zealand return home with 13 balls to spare, showing great composure and batting depth. Therefore, their positive performance boosted their confidence in preparing for this game.
The UAE, on the other hand, will be playing their first match of the tournament and will aim to get off to a bold start by challenging the strong side of New Zealand. UAE captain Mohammad Waseem has impressed in the T20 matches ahead of the World Cup and his full-game experience will be crucial if the UAE are to beat the Black Caps. Additionally, the UAE’s batting and bowling are well-drilled and competitive in this regard.
The two teams have only met a handful of times in T20 internationals, with New Zealand having dominated the past encounters due to their greater resources and experience in major events. So, while New Zealand will be the opening favorites, they can still trouble the UAE if they execute their plan smartly and keep up the pressure throughout the innings.
