Canada
United Arab Emirates
18:37 Local Time, 13:07 GMT, 18:37 IST: What a partnership between Shoaib and Aryansh Sharma which has given UAE the win. No wonder they are so happy at the moment. It looked the chase was going away after they slipped to 66/4 with their skipper, Muhammad Wasim not making many. Aryansh though held one end up but the required rate was always going up till Shoaib joined him. Shoaib played the defining knock of the day with a 29-ball 51 which had 4 sixes and 4 fours to boot. That assault totally turned the game around. Canada got rattled and let the game slip away. A fine win for UAE while Canada will be very disappointed at this result. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff….
Jaskaran Singh to Sohaib Khan, out Caught by Nicholas Kirton!! Still drama left. It's a short of length delivery outside off, angling away from the right-hander, he gets forward to loft, doesn't time it and Kirton takes a pressure catch going back at mid-on. He reverse-cups and judged it well. Still work for UAE to do. Sohaib walks off to a standing ovation. And pats on the back from his mates. Sohaib Khan c Nicholas Kirton b Jaskaran Singh 51(29) [4s-4 6s-4]
Jaskaran Singh to Sohaib Khan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Jaskaran Singh to Aryansh Sharma, SIX, that should be the game. A short of length delivery on middle, Aryansh Sharma gets forward and heaves, it's way over deep square-leg, he knew when he hit it. Started celebrating as he punches the right-fist and then goes to hug with Sohaib Khan

Kaleem Sana to Muhammad Waseem, out Caught by Navneet Dhaliwal!! That's gone a mile high in the air – mid-on calls for the catch, waits on it and holds on with ease – this is a big wicket and Dhaliwal throws the ball away in delight. Waseem never looked in his elements, comes down the pitch and Sana follows him with a good length delivery – cramped for room, he's early into the flick and the ball catches the leading edge – Samra and Dhaliwal both went for the catch, but then the former pulled out.

Junaid Siddique to Shreyas Movva, out Caught by Alishan Sharafu!!

Muhammad Jawadullah to Harsh Thaker, out Navneet Dhaliwal Run Out!! Back of a length, tickled to short fine leg. There's a direct-hit at the keeper's end and the TV umpire has been summoned. It was the non-striker's call. The bat is grounded just outside the crease and it got stuck. The bail lights up before he could ground his right leg. Navneet Dhaliwal could be in trouble here. The foot is definitely in the air when the bail is dislodged. Now, umpire Alex Wharf wants to have a look at the bat once again to check if there was any part inside the crease. "The bat does not cross the line, the batter is short of his ground," he says. OUT flashed on the giant screen. An unfortunate way to get out and that ends the 58-run partnership. Navneet Dhaliwal run out (Muhammad Arfan) 34(28) [4s-4]
Muhammad Jawadullah to Harsh Thaker, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!
Umpire review
Muhammad Farooq to Navneet Dhaliwal, FOUR, 92.9kph, Farooq overpitches, Navneet Dhaliwal gets under it and carves it over extra cover for a one-bounce four
Muhammad Farooq to Harsh Thaker, 1 run, shortish leggie, pulled to deep midwicket. Fifty partnership
Muhammad Farooq to Navneet Dhaliwal, FOUR, full and on the stumps, Navneet Dhaliwal clears his front leg to drill it to long-on. That was struck really hard and long-on can't cut it off despite not having to cover a lot of distance
Muhammad Arfan to Harsh Thaker, SIX, freebie and Harsh Thaker accepts it happily. 130.2kph, full toss on the pads, Thaker bends his back leg, uses the bowler's pace and angle to whip it over deep backward square leg
Muhammad Farooq to Harsh Thaker, FOUR, 89.8kph, Muhammad Farooq starts with a drag down and gets punished. Short and the line is down leg as well. Harsh Thaker crouches as he goes back to pull it through backward square leg
Haider Ali to Navneet Dhaliwal, 1 run, flatter in trajectory and Navneet Dhaliwal punches it through point off the back foot. 12 runs off the over
Haider Ali to Harsh Thaker, 1 run, 86.3kph, flighted delivery on the pads, worked through midwicket
Haider Ali to Harsh Thaker, SIX, 87.3kph, more air and fuller, Harsh Thaker moves across and gets down on one leg to flog it over long-on for an 84m towering six
Haider Ali to Harsh Thaker, FOUR, fraction short with width on offer and Harsh Thaker pounces. He rocks back quickly to cut it fiercely between backward point and short third man
Haider Ali to Harsh Thaker, no run, tossed up and full, Harsh Thaker lunges forward to push it to cover
Haider Ali to Harsh Thaker, no run, LBW appeal, turned down by umpire Adrian Holdstock. 88.1kph, in-drifter attacking the stumps. No spin, beats the defensive inside edge to rap him on the back thigh. UAE ponder and decide against the review. Ball-tracking shows it to be clipping top of leg (umpire's call)
Over Summary (1-6 ov) \n* Bajwa gets going with a couple of boundaries \n* Junaid strikes early for UAE; Bajwa OUT for 11 \n* A second wicket for Junaid as Yuvraj Samra falls; OUT for 5 \n* Navneet Dhaliwal gets going with a cracking boundary \n* A third wicket inside the batting PP as Nicholas Kirton falls for 4 \n* UAE burn a LBW review against Harsh Thaker on 0.
Muhammad Jawadullah to Harsh Thaker, no run, lbw appeal, not given. The umpire asks the bowler to calm down. UAE review. Seems to have pitched outside leg. Harsh Thaker is beaten on the inside edge to get rapped on the front pad adjacent to the pitch. Clearly no bat. Over to ball-tracking and that's pitched well outside leg. UAE lose a review
Muhammad Jawadullah to Nicholas Kirton, out Caught by Aryansh Sharma!! Muhammad Jawadullah strikes first ball! The left-handed batter sees the width and shapes to cut. The length isn't short enough and all Nicholas Kirton could manage it an audible outside edge. Easy catch for the keeper and Canada lose their third wicket inside the powerplay. Nicholas Kirton c Aryansh Sharma b Muhammad Jawadullah 4(6)
Muhammad Jawadullah to Nicholas Kirton, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Muhammad Arfan to Navneet Dhaliwal, FOUR, that's a top shot! Muhammad Arfan serves width with deep backward point in place. So, Navneet Dhaliwal stands tall and punches it through the covers – finding the gap between point and cover. No need to run for that
Muhammad Arfan to Nicholas Kirton, 1 run, 127.5kph, on a length and wide of off, cut to deep backward point
Muhammad Arfan to Navneet Dhaliwal, 1 run, 126.4kph, width on offer, Navneet Dhaliwal cuts to deep backward point for just a single
