CAN vs UAE Match Prediction, Head-to-Head Record
Canada and the United Arab Emirates have not played in many T20 World Cups together. They have never faced each other in T20 International games or the T20 World Cup; however, they met only once, in the T20 World Cup qualifier back in 2019. The UAE had won that match back in 2019.
CAN vs UAE Pitch Report & Conditions
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi records one of the highest-grossing venues in India. The pitch doesn’t offer anything for the bowlers, and the great outfield adds to the benefit of the batters. The average first innings score on this ground is around 180 runs, while chasing often gets easier at this venue due to the dew factor.
CAN vs UAE Weather Report
The weather reports have confirmed that Delhi will record the lowest range of temperatures during the day. While the lowest temperature is typically recorded during the evening, the cloud cover will fade out the impact of the sunrays during the afternoon period. Rainfall is not likely to affect the game any further.
CAN vs UAE T20 World Cup Probable XIs:
Canada Playing XI: Yuvraj Samra, Dilpreet Bajwa (c), Navneet Dhaliwal, Harsh Thaker, Shreyas Movva, Nicholas Kirton, Jaskarandeep Singh, Saad Bin Zafar, Dilon Heyliger, Ansh Patel and Kaleem Sana.
UAE Playing XI: Aryansh Sharma, Muhammad Waseem (c), Mayank Kumar, Alishan Sharafu, Harshit Kaushik, Sohaib Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Haider Ali, Muhammad Arfan, Junaid Siddique, and Muhammad Jawadullah.
Toss Impact
The toss does not have a major impact in the Arun Jaitley Stadium, as the ground is a good batting track and often batters benefit across both innings of play. However, teams usually like chasing at this venue, since the dew makes it difficult to bowl in the second innings.
Form And Fitness
While Canada are yet in the quest for their World Cup victory. On the other hand, the Asian underdogs would also be eyeing their first win into this tournament. The players might not be in the finest of form, as they started their campaigns with losses.
CAN vs UAE Score Prediction
With Canada having a stronger batting unit, they might look to bat first at this venue. However, the UAE would also find it in their favour, since batting first on such a track could lower their chances of a victory. Despite batting first, Canada can score a total of 160 runs, while for the UAE, batting first, the predicted score might be lower.
