Covers 245 matches played by UAE from Jun 2008 to Sep 2026 (Afghanistan matches are not in the open data set).
Two very different records make up the UAE national cricket team story in this book. In T20Is the United Arab Emirates show 71 wins and 56 defeats from 128 since Mar 2014, which is 55.9 per cent of the decided games. The ODI line since Jun 2008 is 41 won, 75 lost, from 117.
The data covers 245 matches up to Sep 2026. Note that the open data set leaves out Afghanistan, so no UAE game against them is counted. Use the tables below to sort by opponent, player or result.
UAE Cricket Team Results in ODIs and T20Is
The T20I record is built on wins against other Associate sides. The UAE have beaten Qatar in all 5 meetings, Malaysia in all 4 and Namibia, Nigeria and PNG 3 times each. Their latest T20Is in the data were three straight wins in Kuala Lumpur in Sep 2026. Against Full Members the picture is harder: 0 from 4 against Pakistan and 1 from 4 against New Zealand, who beat them by 10 wickets at Chennai on 10 Feb 2026.
In ODIs, Namibia are the side the UAE have handled best, 7 wins from 9. Scotland (5 from 17) and Ireland (1 from 9) have been the toughest regular opponents, and the UAE are still waiting for an ODI win over West Indies in 5 tries. A 103-run win at Abu Dhabi on 4 Apr 2017 remains their widest in ODIs.
The UAE’s biggest T20I win, 155 runs, came in Doha on 23 Nov 2024.
