SA vs UAE T20 World Cup 2026 Weather Report: South Africa will lock horns with the United Arab Emirates during their last group stage match of the ongoing mega event at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, on Wednesday. The Proteas will aim to maintain their winning streak after defeating teams such as Canada, New Zealand, and Afghanistan.
The Aiden Markram-led side qualified for the Super 8s after defeating New Zealand in Ahmedabad. The South African bowlers restricted the Kiwis to 175 runs on a flat pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium. After that, skipper Aiden Markram's match-winning knock of 86 runs helped the team chase the target with seven wickets remaining.
They had also survived a nervy moment during their clash against Afghanistan, which ended in a double super over tie. Then they had defeated the minnows Canada by a huge margin. The change of venue from Ahmedabad to Delhi will be a huge challenge for the Proteas as they will now be playing on a relatively drier surface.
As far as the UAE is concerned, under the captaincy of Muhammed Waseem, they will try to end their campaign on a high note after losing to teams like New Zealand and Afghanistan. They had only defeated Canada during their group stage clash. They will try to create an upset and prove to the world cricket that they deserve to face full-member nations more.
Delhi Weather Forecast
The weather conditions in Delhi are a little dark and gloomy ahead of the clash between South Africa and the UAE, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. IST. There is a 20 percent chance of rainfall spoiling the match. The temperature will range between 23 and 26 degrees Celsius with 50% humidity, and the wind gust will blow at 6-10km/hr.
