Muhammad Waseem, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. On the approach, he informs that he is always trying to get his side over the line and is glad to contribute for the side. Praises Asif Khan for his knock, and states that he is a very incredible player. Mentions that Aayan Khan is certainly a future star for United Arab Emirates.
Tim Southee, the captain of New Zealand is in for a chat here. He says that this is the beauty of the sport. Credits UAE for outplaying them in all 3 facets of the game. Feels that they did not learn from the first game. Reckons that dropped catches are a part of the game and were made to pay for that. Mentions that they need to be better in all three areas and will look to turn up for the series decider.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the innings, United Arab Emirates were able to find some grip on offer and that put the Kiwis in a spot of bother. Aayan Khan did wonders in the Powerplay and ended his night with three wickets to his name. No one really from the top-order could get off to a decent start for New Zealand. Things could've been worst for the visitors if not for Mark Chapman's half-century. It certainly added some impetus to the scoreboard but eventually it was quite an easy run chase for United Arab Emirates.
New Zealand started well with the new ball, as Tim Southee was looking sharp and getting some movement as well. He got an early wicket, but then Benjamin Lister and Kyle Jamieson could not really restrict the run flow, and apart from striking in his first over, Kyle Jamieson struggled to find his rhythm and challenge the batters here. The spinner also were a bit lacklustre and eventually it was not New Zealand's day with the ball in hand.
United Arab Emirates got off to a shaky start as they lost a wicket in the very first over, also without any runs on the board. It looked like the New Zealand bowlers will pounce over this batting line-up but the second-wicket stand between Muhammad Waseem and Vriitya Aravind certainly kept the hosts in the game. Once Vriitya Aravind got his eye-in he was mainly dealing in boundaries. He even took after Kyle Jamieson in his first over, but in the end it was the seamer who had the last laugh. Nevertheless, Muhammad Waseem kept the ante up by putting away the lose balls and racked up a valuable half-century. Once he fell, it was Asif Khan who took the matter into his own hands and kept his side in a comfortable position with his well-calculated knock of 48 runs, and received the right amount of help from Basil Hameed.
An emphatic victory, rather a historic victory for UAE! They have taken an incredible win in this series and the handful of fans that have come here to back their side, are certainly enjoying every momemt of this victory. Basil Hameed with the finishing touches and helps his side to secure their first ever win in T20Is. That means only one thing, this series is going down to the wire. The series-decider will surely be a cracking contest.
