New Zealand openers smash T20 World Cup record in 10-wicket rout of UAE

  • In Chennai, Tim Seifert and Finn Allen rewrote the men's T20 World Cup record with an unbeaten 175 partnership to secure a 10-wicket win on February 10, 2026.
  • The UAE entered the tournament at a low ebb with poor form and player indiscipline, starting one game short after Mohammed Zohaib's expulsion days before their first match.
  • UAE's innings produced 173-6, built on a 107-run stand with Waseem's 66 and Sharafu's 55, while Seifert and Allen carried their bats in an unbroken 175 partnership.
  • The result leaves New Zealand top of Group D, and Waseem said, `We need to step up as a bowling team,` before facing Canada on Friday in Delhi.
  • New Zealand raced to 78-0 in the opening powerplay as the openers attacked pace, though Haider Ali briefly stemmed the flow with eight runs from his first two overs.
