CAN vs UAE Betting Tips
UAE Total runs before fall of 1st wicket Under 22.5
Individually, Aryansh Sharma and Muhammad Waseem are quality strikers, but they have struggled to find rhythm as an opening pair. In their last six innings together, the duo has crossed the 22-run partnership mark only twice. We expect early jitters to continue, making the "Under" option highly attractive here.
Muhammad Waseem to score over 24.5 runs
Muhammad Waseem remains one of the UAEās most reliable anchors, having amassed over 700 runs since the start of 2025. He is in excellent touch, scoring at least 25 runs in three of his last four innings, including a recent half-century. Given his consistency and experience, backing Waseem to clear this line is a solid value bet.

CAN vs UAE Team Previews
Canada
Canada is coming off a heavy defeat against South Africa in their opener, landing them at the bottom of the Group D table. However, they will look to extract positives from that performance to stay competitive.
Navneet Dhaliwal remains the standout performer. He has been Canada's most consistent batter recently and scored a brilliant half-century against the Proteas on Monday. He will be the linchpin of the batting order, supported by Harsh Thaker, Nicholas Kirton, and Shreyas Movva in the middle overs. Openers Dilpreet Bajwa and Yuvraj Samra need to provide a brisk start to relieve pressure on the middle order.
The biggest concern is the bowling unit. The seamers struggled with discipline in the previous game; Kaleem Sana, Dilon Heyliger, and Jaskaran Singh all went wicketless while conceding over 10 runs per over. Ansh Patel remains their best hope in the spin department and will be crucial in restricting the UAE scoring rate.

United Arab Emirates
Like their opponents, the UAE suffered a massive 10-wicket loss to New Zealand in their first game and will be desperate to bounce back.
Despite the loss, the UAE batting unit showed promise. Muhammad Waseem was in sublime form on Tuesday, striking an excellent half-century and stitching a 100+ run stand with Alishan Sharafu to post a competitive total. Sharafu, who scored 55, will retain his spot in the middle order alongside Harshit Kaushik, Mayank Kumar, and Sohaib Khan.
The UAE bowling attack looks well-balanced on paper. The seam department features Muhammad Rohid Khan, Junaid Siddique, and Muhammad Arfan, while Dhruv Parashar and Haider Ali provide two specialist spin options that could prove vital in Delhi conditions.

CAN vs UAE Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first. The venue often favors chasing, as the pitch settles down under lights and target setting can be tricky.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally a batting paradise, and punters should expect plenty of runs. The average first-innings score here hovers around 170, but the team batting first will likely target 180+ to feel safe.
Since this is an afternoon fixture, dew will not be a factor. Seamers might find some movement with the new ball, but once the shine wears off, stroke-making will become easier. The forecast predicts cloudy skies with temperatures around 24Ā°C, but no rain is expected to interrupt play.
CAN vs UAE : Who Will Win?
Both teams are hunting for their first win, promising a closely fought contest. However, we reckon theĀ UAE holds the edge.
The conditions in Delhi are very similar to the Asian/Gulf conditions the UAE players are accustomed to. Canada lacks experience playing on subcontinent tracks and may struggle to adapt to the pace and spin variations.
Bet on United Arab Emirates to win.
