New Zealand is set to play the United Arab Emirates at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai during the 11th match of the ICC T20 World Cup. The start of the tournament was excellent for New Zealand, as they defeated Afghanistan by five wickets in their first match. In 17.5 overs, they achieved their target of 183 runs. Wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert's 65 runs and Glenn Phillips' 42 runs helped the team reach the target.

On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates will be playing its first match of the ICC T20 World Cup. They failed to perform well in their World Cup warm-up matches, losing both of them. In the T20 format, both teams have played three matches so far, with New Zealand taking two and the United Arab Emirates winning one.
