UAE's Strong Form Heading Into the Match
UAE vs Bhutan: ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Asia Qualifier B Match Preview
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will face Bhutan in the second match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Asia Qualifier B, which is set to take place at the University of Doha for Science and Technology in Doha on Tuesday, November 19. This match is expected to be a one-sided affair, as the UAE, ranked 16th globally, are the highest-ranked team in this group, while Bhutan stands at 77th in the ICC rankings. With such a disparity in rankings, the UAE are expected to secure a commanding victory when they face Bhutan for the first time in the T20 format.
On the same day, hosts Qatar will play against Thailand at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha. For those interested, you can check the match and broadcast details for the QAT vs THA game as well.
The UAE come into this match with confidence after a strong showing in a recent tri-series that involved fellow T20 World Cup teams Namibia and the United States. In the series, which was held in Windhoek, the UAE triumphed in three out of four matches, ultimately winning the tri-series title.
Bhutan, on the other hand, will be looking to improve their performance after finishing third in a quadrangular T20I series held at home. Although they lost the opening match to Thailand, the team bounced back to defeat both the Maldives and Indonesia. However, their campaign ended on a sour note when they were knocked out in the semi-final by the Maldives. A thrilling one-wicket win in the third-place play-off was a small consolation for Bhutan as they seek to gain momentum in the qualifiers.
