ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Points table, most runs, most wickets after RSA vs UAE Match 34
Tim Seifert and Kusal Mendis headline batting charts with explosive runs, while Shadley van Schalkwyk and Blessing Muzarabani dominate bowling stats, leading wicket tallies and averages to showcase all-round brilliance shaping tournament performances across global cricket stage today this season

United Arab Emirates posted 122 for six after choosing to bat, anchored by Alishan Sharafu’s composed 45 from 38 balls. Early aggression from Muhammad Waseem provided impetus, yet regular wickets halted momentum and prevented a late surge in their latest match in ongoing T20 World Cup 2026. Disciplined bowling kept boundaries scarce and forced cautious strokeplay through the middle overs. The standout effort came from Corbin Bosch, whose accuracy and variations earned three crucial wickets while conceding little. Supported well by the attack, he ensured scoring never accelerated, leaving the innings competitive but within reach on a surface offering assistance.
Chasing the target, South Africa seized control instantly through attacking strokeplay. Aiden Markram smashed 28 off 11 deliveries, putting bowlers under pressure and slashing the required rate. Ryan Rickelton then added a fluent 30 that maintained tempo and prevented any comeback. Even as a couple of wickets fell, the batting unit stayed composed, rotating strike smartly and punishing loose balls. Partnerships flowed without disruption, ensuring the chase never drifted into danger and leaving the opposition searching desperately for breakthroughs as overs disappeared quickly and the outcome became increasingly inevitable late.
Dewald Brevis ultimately steered the pursuit with a polished 36 that balanced control and aggression, piercing gaps and clearing the ropes to dissolve lingering tension. Fielders were repeatedly shifted as he dictated tempo, while partners settled around him to keep momentum intact. The convincing finish highlighted South Africa’s superiority in execution, from precise bowling plans to confident batting intent. Although the United Arab Emirates showed flashes of promise through Sharafu’s resistance, inconsistency proved costly. The result emphasized the gap between the sides and sent a strong warning to future opponents.
