Canada takes on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a Group D clash in Match 20 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on Friday, 13th February. The venue for this match is the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, and the scheduled start time is 3:00 PM IST.
Current Standings: Canada currently stands in 5th place on the table with zero points, while the UAE is in 4th place, also with zero points. Both teams' net run rates were heavily affected in their tournament openers.
Two contrastingly different sides square off at a dry and evenly matched venue. The UAE will have to pull their socks up, especially in their bowling department where their bowlers were taken to the cleaners last time out.
Meanwhile, Canada will aim for more discipline with the ball and greater intent from their top-order batters. Expect a very close contest between these two associate nations in this fixture.

Canada is coming off a tough outing in their Group D opener, where they showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately struggled against South Africa’s pace and experience.
After choosing to bowl first, Canada had a difficult start during the powerplay, conceding 66 runs in the first six overs. While South Africa appeared to be cruising at one point, Canada’s star performer with the ball, Ansh Patel, triggered a mini-collapse for the Proteas.
By taking 3 wickets for 31 runs, he momentarily pulled the game back during the middle overs. However, the bowling unit lost its grip during the death overs, conceding 62 runs in the final five.
The chase began in the worst possible way when captain Dilpreet Bajwa fell for a golden duck on the first ball. Canada’s top order subsequently crumbled to 45/4 under heavy pressure.
Navneet Dhaliwal anchored the innings with a valiant 64 off 49 balls, sharing a 69-run stand with Harsh Thaker (33). Unfortunately, as the required run rate climbed too high, the tail was unable to provide the necessary fireworks. Canada finished on 156/8, falling 57 runs short.
If Canada can perform well with the ball, they have a strong batting unit capable of winning games for them. With some early discipline and a few quick wickets from the UAE's top order, Canada will have the best possible chance of winning this contest.

UAE are coming off a tough 10-wicket defeat against New Zealand in Chennai after being asked to bat first. Their batting performance was a significant highlight, as they posted a competitive 173/6, their highest-ever total in a T20 World Cup.
Despite losing an early wicket, captain Muhammad Waseem led from the front with a brilliant unbeaten 66 off 45 balls. He was well-supported by Alishan Sharafu, who struck a fluent 55, the pair sharing a record-breaking 107-run partnership for the second wicket.
However, the UAE bowling attack struggled to defend the total against a clinical Kiwi opening pair. The bowlers lacked penetration and discipline, failing to pick up a single wicket as New Zealand chased the target in just 15.2 overs.
Aside from Haider Ali, who remained economical, the rest of the attack was expensive, particularly during a Powerplay where they conceded 78 runs. This poor execution with the ball and sloppy fielding allowed the game to slip away quickly.
Despite having a good batting lineup, the lack of experience in their bowling unit is hindering the UAE's chances here. However, their spinners will find a good amount of turn and assistance in Delhi, which should set the stage for a fascinating contest and keep the UAE in the game.
Muhammad Waseem Total Runs Over 24.5 @1.85
The captain of UAE, Muhammad Waseem scored 66 runs in 45 balls against New Zealand to kick start his world cup campaign. He is in good form and has scored over 25 runs in three of the last five T20I's played. We predict Waseem will carry his good run of form against Canada and score over 24 runs.

The pitch at Arun Jaitley stadium looked a bit two paced in the Netherlands vs Namibia game played on Tuesday, but that was a morning game but these is an evening game so expect a good amount of swing for the fast bowlers early on and spinners will have to look to hold on to their accuracy line and lengths. The average score in T20I's is around 160 runs, but a score of around 180 could be par.
Canada to win the coin toss @ 1.90
We back Canada to win the coin toss in today's match against UAE.
The surface at Delhi gets better for batting as the game progresses as seen from the recent matches where in the 9 T20I's played here, teams batting 1st won four matches, while teams chasing won five matches.
It is an evenly matched contest where both teams are in desperate need of a win as they look to get their campaign going. Canada looked much more clinical than UAE in both the bowling and fielding department which gives them the edge in this contest.
