T20 World Cup: Black Caps to Chase 174 for Victory over UAE
UAE seeks upset in T20 World Cup opener backed by rising confidence from domestic league exposure and key players like skipper Muhammad Waseem with 190 sixes.
- On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates begin their third T20 World Cup campaign in Chennai against the New Zealand cricket team at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Group D.
- Having won only once in their past two tournaments, UAE say the International League T20 has boosted player belief, with most players gaining opportunities and learning from big names.
- New Zealand arrive buoyed by a five-wicket opening win, with Tim Seifert's 65 off 42 and a 74-run partnership with Glenn Phillips anchoring their highest successful T20 World Cup chase.
- The Black Caps will seek a big win on Tuesday to aid their pursuit of the Super Eight stage and gain vital group points before facing South Africa in Ahmedabad on February 15, 2026.
- UAE will lean on their 2023 upset as belief for another surprise, with Muhammad Waseem, who has 190 sixes and is 16 short of Rohit's record, representing a key threat.
