That's all from this match. We look forward to your company on Sunday for all the action from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier. Do join us. Cheers!
UAE skipper, Ahmed Raza, says that it is a great feeling and a real morale booster for his team. Feels that Stirling batted really well and they knew he likes to take the innings deep. On being asked about Mustafa's approach at the start, Raza replies that he knows Rohan for more than 10 years now and he is one of the most experienced members of the squad. Mentions that Rohan knows his role and he does not need to be reminded about that. Raza is delighted to be on the winning side as a captain.
Ireland skipper, Gary Wilson, feels that Rohan Mustafa killed the game at the start with his stroke making. Says that the UAE bowled really well and they adapted to the conditions better than them. Credits Ahmed Raza and especially Rohan Mustafa as he took a 4-fer and also scored quickfire runs. He is looking forward to the next game and is confident that they will bounce back.
Man of the Match, Rohan Mustafa, feels that he bowled really well. Shares that he had practiced death bowling and that proved to be very fruitful for him. Further adds that they wanted to bowl slow as they saw in their previous match how it affected them. Tells that they knew that it was not easy to clear the boundaries as the ground is very big. On his death bowling, Mustafa replies that he is used to bowling in the death overs even in the Canadian T20 League. He states that they decided to attack the spinners from the word go and believes that luck was also on his side today.
Ireland will be disappointed with their overall performance. Their batsmen didn't apply themselves on a demanding surface and it was only Paul Stirling who showed the stomach for a fight. But a flurry of wickets in the backend of their batting innings hurt them badly and they suffered a humiliating loss. The move to start with spinners backfired on the Irish team and post that, skipper Gary Wilson didn't show enough faith in his tweakers. The speedsters bowled their hearts out but there wasn't much help for them. It's a reality check for them and they have to revisit their strategies before the next match.
A chase well-planned in the end by the home team! They knew that the pitch will slow down and stroke making won't be easy and hence pressed on the accelerator inside the Powerplay. Rohan Mustafa took the charge and then the pair of Darius D'Silva and Muhammad Usman continued with the momentum. The early onslaught meant that there was no scoreboard pressure on UAE and in spite of some good bowling by Ireland, the hosts sailed home with 3 overs to spare.
Thumping victory for UAE! They got outplayed last evening and have bounced back to thrash one of the pre-tournament favourites in Ireland. It was the Rohan Mustafa all-round show that hurt the Irish team! He first claimed a 4-wicket haul and then provided the early impetus to the run chase. His innings caught Ireland off guard and they never really recovered.

Shane Getkate To Waheed Ahmed OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! Disaster strikes twice for UAE! Shoddy running to say the least. Fullish ball just outside off, Waheed Ahmed plays this one towards the off side and sets off for a run. However, he then denies his partner and D'Silva is sold down the river. The fielder there, Dockrell, picks it up and throws it to the bowler who dislodges the bails in no time. Wicket number 5 down for UAE and they would want to improve on their running between the wickets in the next game.

David Delany To Darius D'Silva OUT!
OUT! Big mix-up and UAE have lost another wicket! Is there any twist in the tale? 16 needed more off 34 balls. A good length ball around off, D'Silva plays it down towards point where Tector dives full length to his right to stop the racing ball. Seeing Darius initially interested in a run, Shahzad puts his skates on and scoots to the other end. Tector quickly recovers from his dive, gets up to pick the ball and throws it to the bowler. Both batsmen are at the striker's end and Delany easily takes the bails off at his end. Suicidal.

The ball though nips away a fraction and takes the outside edge of Usman's blade. It carries to skipper Wilson behind the stumps who takes it easily. Just a hiccup in the run chase for UAE.

Yes, it is not the man who is smashing them around the park but a wicket is a wicket. That is an excellent slower one. Full and on middle. Ahmed is way too early in his heave. He misses and the ball hits the stumps behind. Ireland need a few more quickly.

George Dockrell To Rohan Mustafa
FOUR! Make that three in a row! 17 from the first over. UAE have got off to an excellent start. Top notch batting. Mustafa is toying with the field here. They brought the square leg up. He brings out the slog sweep and hits it over the man there and bags another boundary.

George Dockrell To Rohan Mustafa
FOUR! Third boundary in the over. Mustafa is on a roll in this game. Did it with the ball and now doing it with the bat. He steps down the track again and lofts it with ease over the bowler for one more boundary.

George Dockrell To Rohan Mustafa
FOUR! Up and over! That is some shot and some way to get off the mark! First ball but Mustafa needs no sighters. He makes room, gets a full ball and hits it over mid on for a boundary.
