Kuldeep to Haider Ali, OUT

appeal for a caught-behind, and given! Kuldeep has four, and UAE have been rolled over for 57! Googly on a length outside off. Grips in the surface and rips back in. Haider nibbles at it and seems to miss it, with the ball then flicking the flap of the front pad before being caught by Samson. The umpire gives it out, much to Haider's disbelief but Haider can do nothing about it because....UAE are out of reviews. That sort of sums up UAE's night so far!

India should win this by 10 wkts hmm lets see

Well, that was brisk. UAE made a pretty decent fist of it at the start, with Sharafu and Waseem finding a few boundaries. But once both openers fell, it was a bit of a procession. UAE slumped from 47-2 to 57 all out, with India running through the middle and lower order.

Kuldeep was the star of the show, bagging a four-wicket haul and proving his worth in this format. Varun was not shabby either, with Axar also doing his bit. Dube, played as India's third seam-bowling option, also thrived and finished with a three-wicket haul. Bumrah, back in the T20I side for the first time since the T20 World Cup final last year, also got on the board, although he did look a little rusty. India will be fairly confident of chasing this down, and with only a 58-run target in front of them, they might look to swell their NRR too. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Such a bossy show by SKY and Co. The pitch was fresh so India opted to bowl. Alishan Sharafu put on a bold face and got UAE off to a bit of a start but Bumrah won that battle with him with an off-stump toe-crusher. The powerplay gave them 41 runs but the moment Kuldeep came in UAE lost their way.

Here's Namooh Shah with another stat. Lowest Men's T20I total against India:

57 - U.A.E, Today

66 - NZ, Ahmedabad 2023

70 - IRE, Dublin 2018

80 - ENG, Colombo 2012

The powerplay gave them 41 runs but the moment Kuldeep came in UAE lost their way as he took three in an over. But the surprise package was Dube the part-timer. He picked three wickets in 10 balls to derail the innings and India now need only 58 to win this game. We will be back shortly for this small chase...
