The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is gearing up for its third Twenty20 World Cup campaign with high hopes of causing an upset in a challenging group. As reported by Business Recorder and Tribune Latest, the UAE, which has only one win in its previous two World Cup appearances, is determined to make a mark this time. Fast bowler Junaid Siddique expressed confidence, stating, 'Two to three years back, we could just imagine about pulling up an upset. Now, we have the belief that we can do, we can upset or beat any team.' This renewed belief is attributed to the UAE's domestic International League T20, launched in 2023, which has provided local players with valuable experience against top international talent.
