The Hindu
UAE's Junaid Siddique shines with a fifer, limiting Canada to 150 runs in T20 World Cup 2026 match.
Senior pacer Junaid Siddique took five wickets to headline a disciplined bowling effort from the United Arab Emirates as they restricted Canada to a below-par 150 for 7 in their T20 World Cup match here on Friday.
Opting to bat, Canada were jolted early as pacers Siddique (5/35) and Muhammad Jawadullah ripped through the top order inside the first four overs.
Siddique set the tone with a superb opening spell, fetching two wickets before claiming three scalps at the death.
He started by pitching one up around off to lure opener Dilprit Bajwa into an aerial stroke, only for the skipper to mistime it and offer a simple catch.
He then shifted to a fifth-stump line, angling the ball away as opener Yuvraj Samra attempted a pull, gifting a regulation catch to Alishan Sharafu at mid-on.
Jawadullah joined the party, striking with his first delivery, dismissing the dangerous Nicholas Kirton, who edged behind, leaving Canada reeling with their top three back in the dugout inside six overs.
