T20 World Cup 2026: AFG vs UAE Match 28 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

Match 28 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is scheduled to take place at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. Afghanistan, the semifinalists from the previous edition, is hoping to win this competition for the first time. In an attempt to win, they play the United Arab Emirates, who come into the match having defeated Canada in their last match to earn their first victory of the tournament. Both of these teams need to win this game in order to qualify for the Super 8s. Both teams will be giving it their all in what should be an exciting match.

Even though they haven't won in this tournament yet, the Afghanistan team should start as the favourites, especially considering how well they played against South Africa in their most recent match. Despite their recent victory against minnows Canada, the UAE isn't one of the favourites to start this match because of their dismal head-to-head record versus their rivals. Thus, anticipate that Afghanistan will be favoured by the victory probability meter. 

AFG vs UAE Match 28 Details:

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report:

Dry and spin-friendly surface that gives spinners turn and grip. As the ball slows down in the middle overs, batting becomes more difficult. Early on, pacers might find some movement, but later on, spin will take over. Typically, competitive totals fall between 160 and 170 runs. In order to take advantage of the fresher conditions, toss winners could decide to bat first.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Weather Forecast:

Warm morning temps of 25 to 27°C under clear skies. Players may find it a little tiring due to the moderate humidity. There is no chance of rain, thus the game will be packed. Dew won't be an issue if you start early. Conditions don't change during the game.
