Preview

In the 28th T20 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Afghanistan (AFG) is set to face the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Afghanistan delivered an impressive performance in their previous match against South Africa. Chasing a competitive target of 187, they managed to level the scores and force the game into a Super-Over. However, South Africa held their nerve and secured victory in the second Super Over. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the standout performer with the bat, producing a brilliant knock of 84 runs off 42 deliveries and also performed well in the second Super-Over. In the bowling department, Azmatullah Omarzai claimed three important wickets.

On the other hand, the UAE's performance has been decent so far. They registered a five-wicket win in their previous encounter against Canada. Aryansh Sharma performed well and played a 74-run knock, while Junaid Siddique led the bowling attack with a remarkable five-wicket haul, playing an important role in the victory.
