Afghanistan vs United Arab Emirates Chance of Winning

Afghanistan headed into this tournament hoping to cause a big upset in the group stages but so far they have had an underwhelming campaign so far as they have suffered back to back defeats and need the win the remaining two games to have a chance of making the super Six this term.

United Arab Emirates batted well in the last game against one of the favourites New Zealand but eventually lost the game. They managed to turn things around in the last game as they beat Canada with five wickets to spare. As per our calculations, Afghanistan are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Afghanistan’ chances of winning - 86%
  • United Arab Emirates’ chances of winning - 14%

Afghanistan vs United Arab Emirates Prediction & Tips 2026

Ibrahim Zadran has been one of the mainstays for Afghanistan in this format. So far in this campaign he has struggled to make an impact, in the last match he scored 12 which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Alishan Sharafu was incredible last year for United Arab Emirates as he scored 664 runs with an average of 36.88. Even though he struggled in the last game, we believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Haider Ali to be United Arab Emirates’ top bowler

Haider Ali had a brilliant series against Ireland as he bagged four wickets in two matches. Last year with 29 wickets, he was the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
