Muscat, Oman – The United Arab Emirates (UAE) have officially booked their place in the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 after a commanding performance that sealed victory in just the 13th over, sparking joyous celebrations in Muscat.

🎯 Clinical Chase Leads UAE to Qualification

Their aggressive batting display ensured the team comfortably crossed the target with plenty of overs to spare, underlining their dominance in the qualifier.

🏆 Third World Cup Appearance for UAE

This qualification marks the third appearance for the UAE in the Men’s T20 World Cup. They last featured in 2022, when they competed in the group stage in Australia. During that campaign, the UAE registered a historic win — a seven-run victory over Namibia in Geelong — their only triumph in the tournament.

🌍 Road to the 2026 T20 World Cup

With this victory, the UAE have once again proven their growing stature in associate cricket. The team will now join the global stage for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, looking to make a stronger impact and go beyond the group stage this time.
