Inn Break
Right then, that is it from this game and Bangladesh maintain their unbeaten run against United Arab Emirates in T20I games. There is one more game to go in this short tour and hosts, UAE can end up leveling things up. The 2nd and final T20I will be played in Sharjah again and will begin on Monday, 19 May at 3 pm GMT. You can join us a lot sooner as well for the build-up. Cheers!
The captain of Bangladesh, Litton Das says that the wicket looks good to bat on. The way Parvez Hossain Emon played was good to watch. Stats that his bowlers can make a comeback from any situation and he knew the strength of the blowers. Credits the UAE batters for the way they played in the middle overs. Mentions that the way everyone bowled and the calmness in the middle was amazing. He concludes with that they got support from their fans wherever they play so it's a brilliant support from the fans.
United Arab Emirates skipper, Muhammad Waseem says that they were pretty much in the game, but they lost wickets in the middle, which turned the game. He continues that they bowled well in the last couple of overs. He reckons that they gave 20-25 runs extra, which turned out costly for them while they were chasing. He ends up saying that he is happy for the youngsters, and he hopes they play well in the future as well.
Parvez Hossain Emon is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning ton. Parvez says that it's a special knock for him as it was his maiden T20I century. He adds that he was assessing the wicket and applied his process. He concludes that he will try his best in the next game as well.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Bangladesh were put into bat by Muhammad Waseem on a pitch where 150 looked a decent score. However, that was not the case as one player single-handedly took Bangladesh to a very formidable total. Parvez Hossain Emon struck a sublime century off just 54 balls when he got out, as without much contribution from the others, the visitors still managed to get 191 runs. For United Arab Emirates, Muhammad Jawadullah was the standout as he got a four-fer, but it wasn't enough as the other let things slip.
United Arab Emirates will be thinking about what could have been and it is the inexperience of the middle order that has proved to be the difference. Skipper, Muhammad Waseem led from the front and once a couple of wickets fell, he and the ODI skipper, Rahul Chopra added on a game-changing partnership. However, post the drinks break, Waseem looked lethargic and gave away his wicket. This triggered a collapse as Chopra too fell. Asif Khan did lead a fightback and was looking in pristine form but lost too many wickets around him before getting out himself. In the end, UAE came up 27 runs short, a bigger margin of defeat than it should have been.
Having put on 191 big runs, Bangladesh must have thought that the job was already half done. However, even after picking up a couple of wickets in the first 5 overs, they weren't able to stop the flow of runs. It was in the second half of the chase, especially in the death overs, when they started to pick up wickets in a heap. The likes of Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman remained economical whilst picking up a couple of wickets each as Hasan Mahmud got three wickets. Tanvir Islam also did well but Mahedi Hasan proved to be very expensive, and picked up a couple of wickets in the final over by when the game was over. Overall, a good fightback from the bowling team.
A maiden T20I victory in Sharjah for Bangladesh! Bangladesh had to dig in deep, and that's exactly what they did! Crucial wickets at crucial stages and they held the catches that mattered the most, which gave them the win and the unassailable 1-0 lead in the series.

The ODI skipper, Rahul Chopra, is also firing on all cylinders and UAE are actually ahead of the required rate at the 10-over mark. Bangladesh know that there is not much on offer for their spinners and need to find a way to pick up wickets, which is probably the only way to defend this total. Let's see how the game eventually pans out.

Mustafizur Rahman To Alishan Sharafu OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mustafizur Rahman keeps bowling on that in-between length, around middle and gets the ball to naturally angle away from the right-hander. Alishan Sharafu shimmies down the track, backing away as well as he tries to go over covers. Only manages an outside edge through to the keeper and Jaker Ali makes no mistake. United Arab Emirates 2 down already!

Muhammad Zohaib looks to swivel onto the back foot and pull but the ball gets big on him and he ends up miscuing it completely towards mid on. Najmul Hossain Shanto is the substitute fielder over there and he takes a simple catch to get rid of the debutant.
