Canada vs UAE Team Preview & Squads
Canada
Dilpreet Bajwa leads from the front as an all-rounder, capable of contributing with both bat and ball. His recent leadership has stabilized Canada’s middle order, but against a strong UAE attack, tactical decisions like batting order adjustments and bowler rotations will be crucial.
Canada relies heavily on Yuvraj Samra for top-order stability, while Navneet Dhaliwal provides finishing firepower. The lineup has depth but is vulnerable if early wickets fall, as witnessed in the recent 57-run loss to South Africa. Expect Dhaliwal to anchor aggressive phases and attempt to counter the UAE’s frontline bowlers.
Shivam Sharma is the spearhead, with Harsh Thaker expected to take key wickets. Bajwa’s all-around abilities offer flexibility, but Canada’s bowling depth may be tested against UAE’s power hitters.

United Arab Emirates
Muhammad Waseem is both captain and key batter, providing stability at the top. His tactical acumen will influence batting order decisions and field placements, which could be decisive in tight moments of this CAN vs UAE match.
Waseem leads the batting, with support from players like Haider Ali. UAE’s lineup has proven aggressive, capable of chasing 180+ with intent, but they have faltered against top-tier bowling, highlighting potential pressure points for Canada to exploit.
Muhammad Arfan leads the bowling attack, while Harshit Kaushik provides all-round options. UAE’s bowling is compact but requires accurate execution to contain Canada’s lower-middle order, especially in powerplay overs.
