UAE Seal Final Spot For 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup With Win Over Japan
The United Arab Emirates: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) have clinched the final qualification berth for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup by securing a top-three finish at the ongoing Asia/East Asia-Pacific Qualifier in Oman.
With their victory over Japan on Thursday, UAE have joined Nepal and hosts Oman to complete the 20-team lineup for next year’s global tournament in the shortest format, to be held in India and Sri Lanka.
Muhammad Waseem’s side delivered a clinical performance to eliminate Japan from qualifying contention with an eight-wicket win at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground. Their thumping victory also dashed the hopes of Qatar and Samoa, who needed a Japanese win to stay in the race for playing in the mega event.
