ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Match 34: SA vs UAE, weather report, stadium stats and predicted playing XIs

South Africa will meet the United Arab Emirates in Match 34 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on February 18 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The two teams come into this game with very different momentum in Group D.

South Africa have been outstanding so far, winning all three of their matches. They have shown strength in both batting and bowling and have already confirmed their place in the Super Eight stage. With confidence high, the Proteas will aim to continue their unbeaten run. The UAE, however, have had mixed results. After a heavy defeat in their opening game, they bounced back with a win but then lost a close contest in their last outing. They will need a special performance to challenge the in-form South African side.

The weather in Delhi is expected to be perfect for cricket, with no rain during the match. Since this was a morning game, the weather conditions will be pleasant and comfortable. The temperature will likely stay between 22 and 24°C, with mostly clear skies throughout the game.
