Afghanistan and the UAE face off in Group D at a point in the tournament where every result carries significant importance. Afghanistan are still in search of their first victory, having been comfortably beaten by New Zealand before suffering a heartbreaking defeat to South Africa in a thrilling contest decided after two Super Overs. Those results have left them fourth in the standings and under mounting pressure.
Afghanistan’s campaign has been a mix of disappointment and potential. They struggled to cope with New Zealand’s discipline in their opener, but showed resilience and character against South Africa, taking the game to the wire before falling just short in dramatic circumstances. The key now is turning that competitiveness into crucial points, with sharper decision-making and better execution in defining moments essential to keeping their qualification hopes alive.
The UAE, meanwhile, have already experienced the highs and lows of tournament cricket. After a crushing 10-wicket loss to New Zealand, they bounced back impressively to edge Canada in a tight encounter, displaying improved composure with both bat and ball. That victory has strengthened their position in the group, and they will view this fixture as a valuable opportunity to build further momentum.
