The United Arab Emirates are all set to lock horns in the 34th match of the T20 World Cup 2026. The clash is scheduled for February 18 at 11 am IST and will take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The match will see a confident South Africa side, who have won all three of their matches in the T20 World Cup 2026 and have already qualified for the Super 8 stage of the tournament. On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates have won only one game from their three matches.
They are virtually out of contention for the Super 8 spot with a net run rate of minus 0.797. However, in their final group stage clash, they will be looking to salvage their pride against a strong South Africa side.
As both teams are ready to give it their all against each other, let's take a look at the weather and pitch report of the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi before Match 34 of the T20 World Cup 2026.

(Arun Jaitley Stadium T20 World Cup 2026 stats)
Arun Jaitley Stadium has been a reasonably high-scoring ground in T20I cricket, where across 12 matches, the average score ranges between 155 and 165. Bowlers have also often enjoyed a certain edge on this pitch, with an average of six wickets per innings.
Nevertheless, this T20 World Cup has not strayed from the traditional nature of the surface, as 157 is the average score from the four matches played at this venue. Teams have generally won matches while bowling first here, giving an edge to the chasing sides most of the time.
UAE batters like Sohaib Khan, Muhammad Waseem , and Alishan Sharafu can thrive on this pitch, with Simranjeet Singh and Junaid Siddiqui leading the charge with the ball. South Africa’s key batters like Dewald Brevis and Aiden Markram, along with contributions from their bowling unit led by Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, could also prove crucial in the clash.
Nevertheless, with chasing teams enjoying an advantage at this venue in this edition of the T20 World Cup and captains also favouring bowling first, the skipper winning the toss in the South Africa vs UAE match would likely prefer to bowl first.
