Match Preview

New Zealand enters this Group D encounter with high confidence following a decisive five-wicket victory over Afghanistan in their opening match. Led by clinical batting from Tim Seifert and Glenn Phillips, the Black Caps chased down 183 with ease, signaling their status as tournament favorites.

For the UAE, this match marks their highly anticipated 2026 World Cup debut. While they are the clear underdogs, they carry the memory of their historic 2023 victory over New Zealand, their first-ever international win against the Kiwis, as motivation to cause a massive upset on the global stage.

New Zealand’s lineup boasts significant experience in subcontinental conditions, particularly Mitchell Santner, whose familiarity with the Chennai track from the IPL will be a major asset. The UAE side features “serial six-hitter” Muhammad Waseem at the top of the order and the dangerous left-arm spin of Haider Ali, who has been one of the most economical bowlers in recent franchise cricket.
