That's it from this game! However, cricketing action today does not stop as there is still a game left. Canada will be taking on Nigeria. Do join us for all the action from that game. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Man of the Match, Rameez Shahzad, says he was thinking about the last two times he missed his half tons by a close margin but was sure he would get it this time. Says his dad, who played in the 1996 World Cup would surely be watching this match. Further adds that they were confident and looked to attack from the start with the bat.
To be honest the victory was set up by the UAE bowlers. They bowled brilliantly throughout. Mustafa and Waheed were the stars for them and in the end, their batters did the job by chasing this down easily.
Easy-peasy! The UAE side has chased this total down without breaking a sweat. Yes, they lost Mustafa early but Suri and Shahzad, got their eye in and once they did that, they scored at will. The two added 93 for the second wicket with Shahzad scoring a fifty. He did fall shortly after that but Suri remained unbeaten six short of it and took his side over the line.

Kyle Christie To Rameez Shahzad OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Shahzad has thrown his wicket away but only after taking the hosts to the brink of victory. Short of a length ball outside off, Shahzad looks to pull it towards the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. He does not get the timing on it to clear the fence and the fielder, Raag Kapur in the deep takes a simple catch. He could have finished the game for UAE but he has to walk back after a very good innings.
