Team Performance
Canada: Team Preview & Performance
Canada have lost opening match in T20 WC against South Africa. In the previous performance after winning the toss they opted to bowl. Bowlers got trashed by SA batters only Ansh Patel bowling spell was outstanding with economy of 7.80 grabbing three wickets, along with skipper Dilpreet Bajwa’s support was not enough taking one wicket and while chasing top batters didn’t do well, only Navneet Dhaliwal was excellent while chasing fought and contributed a half century 64(49), it was not enough in the end and they lost by 57 runs.
UAE: Team Preview & Recent Performance
UAE kicked off their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a defeat against New Zealand after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. They posted a competitive 173/6 in 20 overs, powered by an excellent 121-run partnership between Muhammad Waseem (66* off 45) and Alishan Sharafu (55 off 47). Waseem’s aggressive stroke play and Sharafu’s composed batting through the middle overs formed the backbone of UAE’s innings. However, the lower order couldn’t provide the late flourish needed to push the total beyond 180.
The bowling effort proved to be UAE’s undoing. Alarmingly, not a single UAE bowler managed to take a wicket as New Zealand cruised to victory. While Haider Ali showed discipline with economical figures of 4-0-27-0, the rest of the attack leaked runs without creating any breakthroughs, allowing the Kiwis to chase down the target comfortably.
After this opening setback, UAE will be eager to bounce back when they face Canada in the tournament’s 20th match. The team must address their bowling concerns and find ways to finish stronger with the bat to keep their World Cup hopes alive.
Muhammad Waseem recently broke Rohit Sharma’s record for the most T20I sixes hit by a captain

CAN vs UAE Today’s Pitch Report & Toss Condition?
Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi pitch is good for batting with short boundaries around 65-68m which helps batters hit sixes easily. New ball bowlers may get some movement early but the pitch is flat and outfield is fast so batters can score runs freely.
Chasing is better option here because of evening dew. The ball becomes wet and slippery making it hard for bowlers to grip and bowl properly. This gives big advantage to team batting second.
