Canada vs UAE Probable XIs – T20 World Cup 2026
Canada may shuffle their bowling attack after Jaskaran Singh and Saad Bin Zafar proved expensive against South Africa, with Shivam Sharma potentially replacing one.
UAE are considering strengthening their bowling by bringing in Muhammad Farooq or Simranjeet Singh for Muhammad Arfan after their attack failed to take a single wicket against New Zealand. Both teams need collective improvements rather than individual heroics to bounce back.
Canada Probable XI: Yuvraj Samra, Dilpreet Bajwa (c), Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva (wk), Harsh Thaker, Saad Bin Zafar, Jaskaran Singh/Shivam Sharma, Dilon Heyliger, Kaleem Sana, Ansh Patel
UAE Probable XI: Aryansh Sharma (wk), Muhammad Waseem (c), Alishan Sharafu, Mayank Kumar, Sohaib Khan, Harshit Kaushik, Muhammad Arfan/Muhammad Farooq/Simranjeet Singh, Dhruv Parashar, Haider Ali, Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Rohid Khan
Arun Jaitley Stadium – Pitch Report & Stats
The afternoon start at Arun Jaitley Stadium should offer less assistance to bowlers compared to morning matches at the venue. The pitch has historically favored chasing, with 10 of 16 T20s won batting second.
Namibia’s captain described it as “tacky” in their morning fixture, but conditions typically ease later. Both teams’ bowling units need vast improvements after their opening performances to defend or restrict totals successfully.
