- This is set to be the first meeting between Afghanistan and United Arab Emirates at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup; Afghanistan have won five of their last six men’s T20Is against UAE (L1), including each of the last three on the bounce.
- United Arab Emirates will be aiming for back-to-back wins at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time, after winning their most recent game (by 5 wickets vs Canada on 13 February 2026); however, they are yet to register a win against a full-member side in the competition (P4 L4).
- Afghanistan have won five of their last six men’s T20Is when batting first on the day (L1), with the sole loss in this stretch coming by a 5-wicket margin in their opening game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 (vs New Zealand on 8 February 2026).
- United Arab Emirates’ five-wicket win against Canada in their most recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup game snapped their four-game losing streak in men’s T20Is; the last time they won back-to-back games in the format was in October 2025 (2 games).
- United Arab Emirates have lost three of their last four men’s T20Is when batting first on the day (W1), including each of the last two on the bounce; they had won the toss in each of their three losses in this stretch.
- Batters have played and missed 14.9% of Afghanistan’s deliveries in men’s T20Is since the start of 2025, the highest such rate by any full-member side bowling unit; however, batters have played and missed just 20 of their deliveries over their first two games of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the third lowest by any side.
- Junaid Siddique has logged an 83.3% share of United Arab Emirates’ wickets in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest such share by any player; he became the first UAE bowler to register a five-wicket haul in the tournament in his most recent innings (5/35 vs Canada on 13 February 2026).
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz has struck 67 boundaries (31 fours & 36 sixes) at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the most by any Afghanistan batter; he has struck eight sixes in the ongoing edition of the competition, half of his personal best in a single edition (16 in 2024).
- Muhammad Waseem has logged a batting average of 34.7 in men’s T20Is since the conclusion of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the highest of all United Arab Emirates batters (min. 10 innings batted); he has scored 122 runs at an average of 40.7 in the format since the start of 2026.
- Rashid Khan has picked up eight wickets in men’s T20Is in 2026, tied for the most by any Afghanistan bowler (also Mujeeb Ur Rahman); he registered bowling figures of 3/21 in his only meeting with United Arab Emirates in the format (1 September 2025).
