    T20 WC: Canada Players Rue Lack Of Game Time, Preparation As UAE Pull Off Heist

    By IANS News February 13, 2026 • 23:38 PM View: 100
    T20 World Cup Group: Canada's lack of competitive cricket proved to be costly as they surrendered a strong position to lose by five wickets to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their Men’s T20 World Cup Group D clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, with players citing limited preparation time and harsh winter conditions back home as contributing factors.

    The North American side had not played a T20I since June 2025 and had not had any competitive cricket together since September, before coming into their second T20 World Cup appearance. They appeared poised for victory after restricting the UAE to 68-4 in the 13th over while defending 150.

    However, a counter-attacking 51 off 29 balls from Sohaib Khan and an unbeaten 74 from Aryansh Sharma saw UAE complete their chase with two balls remaining, handing Canada their second consecutive defeat.
