Opting to bat first, UAE posted a total of 284/7 with Asif Khan smashing 82 while Muhammad Waseem scoring 65 runs. Later, Jersey got bundled out for 218 after Karthik Meiyappan and Junaid Siddique scalped four and three wickets respectively. Apart from such a brilliant encounter, one thing grabbed a lot of attention was a hilarious dismissal of Josh Lawrenson by Rohan Mustafa

In the 21st over of Jersey's chase, Mustafa caught and bowled Lawernson but before taking the catch, the UAE spinner bumped the ball multiple times in his hands. As he completed the catch, he jokingly tried to hit Harrison Carlyon, who was standing at the non-strikers end.
