8:55pm 77 dots overall, including 20 from Bhuvneshwar. He laid the marker for India with back-to-back maidens. He found swing right away, hit the deck hard, and bowled with pace. The spinners then took over and asphyxiated UAE further; a wicket each for the six bowlers used by Dhoni. Be back soon for the (small) chase.

81 for 9 is the second-lowest total without getting all-out in T20Is while batting all 20 overs. More than half of UAE's runs came through Shaiman.

Tushar Jain: "Runs scored by UAE in extras is more than the combined score of their 7 batsmen."

Harbhajan: I am happy I am playing. It was nice to be bowling and I did whatever I could. It was difficult overall, I took every net session like a match. I was just looking to bowl with the finger and get the ball swing away from the batsman. You never know what sort of combination we will play in the World Cup.

Satheesh: "77 Dots means almost close to 13 maiden overs.That means UAE has scored 81 in 7 overs close to 11 RPO."

Hassan: "Lowest Total in this Asia Cup"
