Potentially sad end to Zimbabwe's journey. Now their fate isn't in their hands. They have a chance, but a slim one, and it will depend on the outcome of tomorrow's game. What was expected to be a dead rubber tomorrow has everything on offer. Whichever team wins tomorrow's clash enters the big event. We have Ireland taking on Afghanistan. Tune in tomorrow at 0930 local (0730 GMT) for the coverage. Till then, goodbye!

Rohan Mustafa, UAE captain, says that they have missed key players during the crucial matches in the Super Sixes stage. Adds that the team has been working hard and they have changed a lot in all departments. Ends by saying that they will come hard in the next tournament.

Graeme Cremer, Zimbabwe captain, says that they had good partnerships in the middle but it was crucial that Sean Williams had to carry on but was dismissed. Reckons that the UAE team performed well today. Ends by saying that they will pick themselves up with this defeat and move on but the team is disappointed with this result.

Man of the Match, Mohammad Naveed says that he is happy with the award. Adds that he is successful because he tries to bowl wicket-to-wicket as suggested by his coach. Reckons that the yorkers helped him a lot towards the death. Ends by saying that he dedicates this award to his family members.

With the revised target, Zimbabwe needed a positive start but lost wickets early in the Powerplay. Williams and Moor, however, took the situation in their stride and stitched a fine partnership consisting of 79 runs, before the latter departed. Williams carried on along with Raza and it looked like they would win it. But some excellent bowling from the skipper Mustafa and Naveed in the death saw that the key men for the Chevrons fell at the wrong time and the game got away from them. You could say Williams' wicket was the turning point of the game, maybe even Raza's. UAE held their nerve and got the job done.

A rain-hit affair which was threatened to not even finish. But on this day, some heroes rose up for UAE. After losing a wicket early on, Mustafa and Shabber added 74 to steady things, before Anwar and Shahzad threaded the same amount between them not long after. But, the late impetus from Naveed really did the trick. As the rain came later and it helped their DLS score.

Went right down to the wire. Just 3 runs short, agonizingly close. The crowd in the stadium didn't just come to fill up the numbers. They were buzzing all day, even through the rain, kept on singing and dancing and pushed their team forward. They really wanted their team to win and qualify for the big stage. But it wasn't meant to be. Sometimes in life, it just isn't.

39.6

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

UAE WIN BY 3 RUNS! heartbreak for the home side. The crowd goes silent, they can't believe what's happened here. Oh boy... their faces say it all. High full toss on off, Ervine swings and can only manage a top edge over cover-point for a couple.

39.5

Mohammad Naveed To Kyle Jarvis

Full and outside off, Jarvis can only fetch a single with a smack to long off. Ervine needs a biggie to finish. Dinesh Karthik finished a game off the last ball against Bangladesh in the Nidahas Trophy final. Can Ervine replicate that?

39.4

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

Another full toss, on the stumps, Ervine can only mistime it towards extra cover. Only a single. 7 off 2 needed.

39.3

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

FOUR! Edged and away! Ervine won't mind that, nobody will mind that. Full toss on off, Ervine just swings wildly. It goes off the edge and away to the third man fence for a boundary.

39.2

Mohammad Naveed To Kyle Jarvis

Follows Jarvis, who's backing away, with an excellent yorker. The batsman can only work it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

39.1

Mohammad Naveed To Kyle Jarvis

Fuller and slower on the stumps, Jarvis clears his front leg and whacks it towards wide long on for a double.

Zimbabwe need 15 to win, in the last over of the game, against the best bowler of the game. Game over? Or is there something still left?

38.5

Amir Hayat To Craig Ervine

Full toss angling in on leg, Ervine can only flick it through mid-wicket for a single.

38.4

Amir Hayat To Craig Ervine

Missed out! Dot ball. Slower bouncer around off, Ervine doesn't pick it up and goes into the pull shot way too early.

38.3

Amir Hayat To Kyle Jarvis

Dot ball. Yorker on off, Jarvis can only play it back to the bowler.

38.2

Amir Hayat To Kyle Jarvis

Dot ball. Yorker on off, Jarvis can only play it back to the bowler.

38.1

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

Ervine works it through mid-wicket and keeps strike. 19 needed off 12.

37.5

Mohammad Naveed To Kyle Jarvis

Lbw shout turned down courtesy a big inside edge. Reverse for Naveed as it's pitched on a fuller length, Jarvis gets an inside edge onto his pads and he takes a single as the ball goes on the off side.

Kyle Jarvis will be the new man in.

37.4

Mohammad Naveed To Graeme Cremer OUT!

OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Naveed comes good for his side. Zimbabwe lose another wicket. Banged in on a back of a length on middle and off, Cremer looks to go across the line and gets a bottom edge which takes the bails off. 21 still needed off 14.

37.3

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

Cutting back in on middle and leg, whipped along the ground through mid-wicket for a single.

37.2

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

Precious dot ball. Fuller and on off, Ervine can only defend it under his nose.

37.1

Mohammad Naveed To Craig Ervine

Full ball outside off from around the wicket, driven through the covers for a couple. Good start the over.

Also, Mohammad Naveed comes back into the attack.

Skipper Graeme Cremer walks in. Into the most pressure situation he's walked into in his entire career. It can still be done, but he needs to keep his nerve and support Craig Ervine.
