New Zealand Vs UAE Live Cricket Score, T20 World Cup 2026: NZ Eye Second Win

NZ vs UAE Live Score, T20 World Cup 2026 Updates (New Zealand national cricket team vs United Arab Emirates national cricket team scorecard): New Zealand aims to solidify their leading position in Group D with a consecutive win as they face the United Arab Emirates in today’s T20 World Cup match. The Kiwis secured a crucial two points by overcoming a formidable Afghanistan side with a five-wicket victory on Sunday. Now, they are looking to capitalise on their momentum against a relatively weaker opponent. The victory over Afghanistan highlighted New Zealand’s deep and experienced batting line-up, which managed to recover from a precarious 14 for two while chasing 183 on a slower pitch.

However, the Mitchell Santner-led team will seek strong performances

from Finn Allen and Rachin Ravindra, key players in their batting order. Both Allen and Ravindra were dismissed by Mujeeb ur Rahman’s spin in the last match, but the UAE’s bowling attack is not of the same calibre. As such, the two top-order batsmen will be aiming for substantial scores against the UAE to build confidence ahead of the crucial match against South Africa.
