Mohammad Shahzad to Umar Akmal, no run
15.5
Mohammad Shahzad to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, Malik has top-edged the hook and the fielder running in from deep square leg has dropped it! Usman Mushtaq was the fielder. I think he ran in too quickly and slipped a bit as he got to the ball, it popped out and he could not grab the second chance either. Such a great chance for UAe and they haven't taken it, that might be the game

Mohammad Shahzad to Shoaib Malik, no run, in the blockhole, dug out on the off side
15.3
Mohammad Shahzad to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, steps out to a full toss and drives it calmly into the gap on the extra cover boundary, Malik is doing this smoothly now
15.2
Mohammad Shahzad to Umar Akmal, 1 run, a full ball outside off, Akmal stays in his crease and hacks at the ball, dragging it from outside off towards long on with no timing
 

Raff: "Fantastic to see UAE being competitive here. Who are the non-test-playing nations who have the best chance -- given their talent, their infrastructure, their administration, etc -- to be competitive over the next decade or two? Ireland and the Netherlands, I would think. What about Afghanistan, Hong Kong, and UAE?"
