Match 34 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will see South Africa take on the United Arab Emirates at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, February 18, with the two teams heading into the clash on contrasting paths.

South Africa has been one of the best teams in Group D so far. The Proteas sit comfortably at the top of the table with three wins from three matches and a healthy net run rate of 1.477. They began their campaign with a dominant 57-run win over Canada, followed by a thrilling tie against Afghanistan, which they clinched in the second Super Over. Their most significant result came against New Zealand, where they secured a comfortable seven-wicket victory. That win confirmed their qualification for the Super Eight.

On the other hand, the UAE has had a mixed tournament. After a heavy 10-wicket loss to New Zealand, they bounced back with a five-wicket win over Canada. However, a narrow defeat to Afghanistan hampered their momentum. With one win in three games, the UAE face a tough task against an in-form South African team.
