The Afghans are yet to win a game in the tournament, losing both of their opening Group D matches against New Zealand and South Africa. They will be officially out of the T20 World Cup 2026 if they fail to win today.
In contrast, the equation is rather simple for the United Arab Emirates. If Afghanistan win this game and the next one against South Africa, then the pressure will be on New Zealand, who could be at the risk of missing out on a spot in the Super 8s.
