South Africa and UAE face off in Group D, with qualification already secured for one side and impossible for the other. South Africa have confirmed their place in the Super Eights, while UAE’s faint hopes ended following New Zealand’s victory over Canada—a result that also eliminated Afghanistan. For South Africa, this match offers an opportunity to fine-tune their combination and build momentum ahead of the next stage, whereas UAE will look to conclude their campaign on a positive note.
South Africa’s tournament so far has been defined by balance and control. The 2024 runners-up began with a commanding win over Canada, edged a thrilling two-Super-Over contest against Afghanistan, and followed up with another strong performance against New Zealand. Contributions have come from across the batting order, allowing them to recover from early setbacks, while the bowling attack has consistently delivered in crucial moments. The pace bowlers have set the tone, complemented by Keshav Maharaj’s spin, which has provided control in the middle overs and overall all-round stability.
UAE, on the other hand, have experienced an inconsistent campaign. After a heavy loss to New Zealand, they bounced back with a narrow win over Canada that briefly revived their hopes, only to fall short against Afghanistan. Despite this, there have been encouraging individual performances with both bat and ball, and at their best, the side has shown discipline and composure. With progression out of reach, UAE will focus on finishing strongly and carrying confidence from this outing into future tournaments.
