As the T20 World Cup 2026 is in full swing, the cricket world is all set for another classic match. In the 20th match of the ongoing tournament, Canada is all set to face the UAE on February 13. The Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, will host the encounter live from 3:00 PM (IST).
Before stepping into the upcoming match, Canada faced a big defeat in their last match against South Africa. Despite the other bowlers struggling, Ansh Patel grabbed attention with his lethal bowling. Defending the total, Navneet Dhaliwal's batting performance was a treat for the fans amidst the slump. As the next match commences soon, both their current form and the other layers’ hunger will be a massive asset.
On the flip side, the UAE also suffered the same fate as Canada. Facing New Zealand in the last match, they faced a massive 10-wicket defeat. Batting first, captain Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu showcased character. But in the second innings, the bowlers faltered under pressure, but Haider Ali’s economical bowling grabbed the attention. For both sides, a major shake-up now seems inevitable.
Ahead of the match, let’s have a closer look at the pitch and weather report of the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on February 13.
