Match Preview

Afghanistan occupies a precarious third spot in Group D after two consecutive losses to New Zealand and South Africa. While their bowling, led by Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi, remains world-class, their middle-order collapses have been a recurring theme.

In contrast, the UAE has shown remarkable grit; after a heavy opening loss to New Zealand, they successfully defended a modest total against Canada in Delhi to secure their first points. For the UAE, the key will be handling the high-quality spin of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan on a surface that traditionally aids slower bowlers.
