The UAE have managed 100 for seven in their chase of Pakistan’s 146.

Alishan Sharafu made a brisk 12 off eight balls before falling to Shaheen Shah Afridi, while UAE captain Muhammad Waseem added 14 runs from 15 deliveries.

Rahul Chopra was the top scorer for the UAE with 35 runs off 35 balls, offering some resistance before being caught by Hasan Nawaz off Agha Salman.

Dhruv Parashar contributed 20 runs in 23 balls but failed to build a meaningful partnership, and other UAE batsmen struggled to accelerate against Pakistan’s attack.

Asif Khan and Harshit Kaushik were dismissed without scoring, while Haider Ali and Simranjeet Singh remained unbeaten on 1 and 0, respectively.

Pakistan’s bowlers shared the spoils, with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Abrar Ahmed taking key wickets.
