The target is a stiff one, Bangladesh have a quality bowling attack but batting does get easier here. Can UAE chase this down?
UAE will be disappointed with how things ended. They were in control for most parts but leaked quite a few runs in the last 5. Karthik, Ali, and Khan were really good but the death bowling can cost them the game.
That innings from Afif has taken Bangladesh to a total that is probably par. It was a struggle for Bangladesh throughout. They just never got going.

Hasan played as the perfect foil and the two did brilliantly to take their side over the 150-run mark.

United Arab Emirates
151/10(19.4 Overs)
The target is a stiff one, Bangladesh have a quality bowling attack but batting does get easier here. Can UAE chase this down?
UAE will be disappointed with how things ended. They were in control for most parts but leaked quite a few runs in the last 5. Karthik, Ali, and Khan were really good but the death bowling can cost them the game.
That innings from Afif has taken Bangladesh to a total that is probably par. It was a struggle for Bangladesh throughout. They just never got going. Their top five were dismissed even before 100 and at that time 140 looked tough but Afif played a total blinder. Hasan played as the perfect foil and the two did brilliantly to take their side over the 150-run mark.
