With four wins each, UAE holds the top spot due to a superior net run rate (3.355) compared to Qatar’s 1.385. The winner of this match will secure the Asia Sub-regional Qualifier B crown and advance to the nine-team regional finals for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held in India and Sri Lanka.
However, the stakes are equally high for the loser. They will need to win their final match two days later to confirm a spot in the regional final, as teams like Thailand (3 wins in 5 games), Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain (both with 2 wins in 2 games) still have an outside chance to break into the top two.
