The UAE and Canada, after opening losses to New Zealand and South Africa respectively, are gearing up to face off in a crucial game they both hoped to win pre-tournament. Despite these defeats, players like UAE's Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu, and Canada's Navneet Dhaliwal and Harsh Thaker displayed stand-out performances. With only one previous T20I encounter between them, which UAE won, both teams are eager to secure their first win in this World Cup. Key players are expected to lead their teams to potential victory.

The UAE and Canada lost their opening games which was not a surprise against New Zealand and South Africa. Both showed moments of quality though, but this will be the game they both targeted pre-tournament for the win.

Key Stats - Navneet to Continue his Good Form


  • United Arab Emirates’ Muhammad Waseem scored 40 & 66* in his last 5 innings.
  • United Arab Emirates’ Alishan Sharafu scored 55 off 47 balls vs New Zealand.
  • Canada’s Navneet Dhaliwal scored 64 off 49 balls against South Africa.
  • Canada’s Harsh Thaker scored 33 off 29 balls against South Africa.

Only One Previous Encounter


The UAE beat Canada by 14 runs in a T20I back in 2019. That was their only match in this format.

Canada Well-Beaten in Opener


Canada lost their opening match of the World Cup against South Africa by 57 runs.

The Canadian attack had no answer for the powerful Proteas top-order, who posted 213/4 off their 20 overs. Ansh Patel produced a fine bowling performance to return figures of 3/31 at an economy rate of 7.75. Dilpreet Bajwa (1/40) picked up the other wicket to fall.

Canada recovered from 45/4 to reach 114/4 after 14 overs thanks to a 65-run stand for the fifth wicket between Navneet Dhaliwal (64 off 49) and Harsh Thaker (33 off 29). They weren’t able to keep the rate going and ended their 20 overs on 156/8.

United Arab Emirates Four Losses in a Row


The United Arab Emirates slipped to their fourth defeat in a row when they lost their World Cup opener to New Zealand by 10 wickets.

The UAE put together an impressive batting performance to reach 173/6 off their 20 overs. Muhammad Waseem (66* off 45) and Alishan Sharafu (55 off 47) added 107 runs for the second wicket inside 15 overs, and the middle order scored at 10 runs to the over for the last five overs against tight New Zealand bowling. 

The power pair of New Zealand openers stormed to a 10-wicket win off 15.2 overs as they overwhelmed the UAE attack. Haider Ali’s four overs went for just 27 runs (econ 6.75), while the rest of the attack all went for over 11.5 runs to the over.

Canada vs United Arab Emirates Predicted Lineups


UAE (possible XI): Aryansh Sharma, Muhammad Waseem (c), Alishan Sharafu, Harshit Kaushik, Mayank Kumar, Sohaib Khan, Muhammad Arfan, Dhruv Parashar, Haider Ali, Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Rohid.

Canada (possible XI): Dilpreet Bajwa (c), Yuvraj Samra, Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva, Harsh Thaker, Saad Bin Zafar, Jaskaran Singh, Dilon Heyliger, Kaleem Sana, Ansh Patel.

Verdict

I am backing the United Arab Emirates to win. I am also backing Muhammad Waseem to top score for United Arab Emirates.

Navneet Dhaliwal is a good bet to top score for Canada.
