T20 World Cup 2026: SA vs UAE Match 34 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

Prepare yourself for an entertaining triple header and another action-packed day at the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. In-form South Africa is prepared to take on the United Arab Emirates in Group D, where the action begins. This match will be live on Wednesday, February 18, at 11 AM IST from Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. Having won all three of their group matches thus far, South Africa is already in.

In their most recent match, the Proteas dominated New Zealand by seven wickets. Aiden Makram led his team to victory with a captain's knock. Since the majority of their players are playing well, we may witness another outstanding performance from them. On their day, the UAE may be a formidable opponent, but they were eliminated after losing two of their three games. Before the Super 8 round, even South Africa would prefer a challenging match.

SA vs UAE Match 34 Details:

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report:

Historically, the surface of Arun Jaitley Stadium has been a batting-friendly pitch that provides plenty of runs once batters get comfortable. A fast outfield and short boundaries make stroke play satisfying. As the game goes on and the pitch slows down and provides grip, spinners usually come into action. Because of the dew and batting ease, teams like to chase at this location, while pacers may receive some help early on with the new ball. Scores of 170+ have historically been competitive here, but chasing teams frequently have the upper hand.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Weather Forecast:

Clear skies and sunny conditions. The temperature is about 27°C, although it seems closer to 31°C. The humidity is at 36%, which is mild and won't cause any problems for players. Wind speed from the southeast is 10 km/h. About 5 km of visibility. The circumstances may be marginally impacted by the Air Quality Index (AQI), which is 183 (bad). UV Index: moderate, at 4.
