Canada vs UAE LIVE Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2026

1 run.

Full of a good length, attacking off and middle. Dhaliwal blocks it on the front foot.

Dragged short and outside off, punched away off the back foot through covers for a single. 12 off the over, a positive one for Canada.

Full and angled into the pads, clipped away through mid-wicket for one. The 50 is up for Canada now.

SIX! The confidence has skyrocketed for Harsh Thaker now. Floated up, a bit fuller and around middle, Thaker goes on one knee and slogs it high over long on for a biggie.

FOUR! That will ease the nerves a bit for Thaker. Fractionally short and a tad wide outside off, Thaker rocks back and slices the cut shot behind point and picks up a boundary.

Tossed up, fuller and outside off, eased away to the left of the bowler.

A big appeal for LBW, turned down again. Flighted ball on middle, drifts back in with the arm. Harsh Thaker looks to play with a straight bat but is beaten past the inside edge and gets hit on the back thigh. UAE have burned a review already but there is a big discussion between the bowler, the keeper and the captain. No review taken. Could be too high.

End of Powerplay! What an eventful over this was from Muhammad Jawadullah. United Arab Emirates are on top and they will look to keep on troubling the Canada batters. Canada are reeling at 39/3 after 6 overs now. Let's see how it pans out...

No wicket-maiden for Jawadullah but it is still a fine over. Shorter in length, angling away, Thaker hops back and guides it down to deep third for a single.

Half an appeal this time, for a caught behind but it seems like Harsh Thaker has jammed his bat into the turf here. Yorker-length, just angled across off, Thaker looks to dig it out but the ball just goes past the outside edge.

Back of a length again, in and around off, Thaker tentatively blocks it off. Tidy stuff from Jawadullah thus far.

Back of a length, tight line around off, Thaker gets an inside edge and almost chops it back onto the stumps.

LBW APPEAL! Good-length delivery, around leg and shapes in a touch. Harsh Thaker plays all around it but misses and gets rapped on the pads. There is a big appeal, turned down and this seems to be pitching outside the line of leg stump. The bowler wants the review and Muhammad Waseem goes for it. The third umpire needs just one replay to confirm that there's no bat involved but Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching miles outside the line of leg stump. UAE burn a review here. NOT OUT!

DRINKS BREAK! What a start for Muhammad Jawadullah. He makes an immediate impact, sending Nicholas Kirton back to the pavilion on his very first delivery. Canada finds themselves in deep trouble at 38 for 3 after 5.1 overs and desperately needs a steady partnership to stop the slide. United Arab Emirates are well and truly on top here, and they will look to keep the pressure mounting. Harsh Thaker walks in to bat now.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Muhammad Jawadullah strikes on the very first ball and Canada lose their third wicket inside the Powerplay. Jawadullah steams in from over the wicket and serves a full ball outside off, getting it to shape away a touch. Nicholas Kirton gets low to drive it square but ends up getting a thick outside edge. Aryansh Sharma gobbles it up behind the sticks and Canada are 38/3 in 5.1 overs. Kirton is a big wicket as he can take the game away from the opposition anytime.

Double change? Yes, indeed. Muhammad Jawadullah comes in to bowl the final over of the Powerplay.

FOUR! Shot of the afternoon so far! On a length, on off, Navneet Dhaliwal gets to the pitch of the ball and caresses it through the covers for a glorious boundary.

Hard length, on off, Nicholas Kirton punches it through cover for a single.

Short and wide, Navneet Dhaliwal steers it through backward point for a single.
