Ireland batters did find the odd boundaries but constant loss of wickets really hampered their innings. UAE would be pretty pleased with their performance today as they manage to come back strong after facing defeat against Ireland yesterday.

Gareth did try and stitch a partnership alongside George but he had a lapse in concentration and lost his wicket as well. Curtis came next found the boundaries, was looking good but was bowled batting on 22. After that, wickets just kept tumbling at regular intervals.

The onus was all upon Keven who was starting to find the boundaries. Unfortunately, he lost his wicket as well and Ireland plunged into deeper trouble by the end of the powerplay. It was up to the Irish middle order now to gets its side back into the run-chase.

Coming in to chase a challenging total of 164 runs, Ireland did not have the best of starts as they lost their explosive opener Paul quite early into the innings. Andy the Irish skipper was out in the middle but lost his wicket after finding a boundary.

A comfortable victory for UAE today. All the bowlers today performed collectively for them and did well put the Irish batters in trouble. It looked like the final Irish pair of Mark and Joshua would manage to bat through the 20 overs but it was not to be.

18.4 Muhammad Waseem to Mark Adair , OUT! CAUGHT! And that will be the game! Full length delivery, with a hint of width on offer. But pace was taken off from it. Adair did not pick the slower one, and ends up chipping it straight to cover instead of lofting it over him.

18.3 Muhammad Waseem to Mark Adair , full on the fourth stump line, driven down with intent to cover. Fielder over there tries to rush in a throw, and ends up misfielding. Two taken. 

18.1 Muhammad Waseem to Mark Adair , short of a good length delivery, outside off stump. Adair chips it in the air, over backward point. Ball lands safely and the batters take a couple. 

Just formalities now, Ireland's final pair manages to survive another over and surely are aiming to bat through their quota of overs. UAE would want to bowl them out here and provide a bit of added boost to their net run rate with this win as well. Ireland are 59 runs away from the target.

17.5 Zahoor Khan to Mark Adair , slower one now, short ball, just outside the off stump. Adair was committed for the pull shot, but ends up not offering a shot, as the ball takes forever to reach the batter. 

17.4 Zahoor Khan to Mark Adair , low full toss, missing the yorker by a bit. Adair swings his bat to it, but misses, as the ball is a quicker one that skids past the bat. 

17.2 Zahoor Khan to Mark Adair , full on the pads now. Adair tries to flick it but is beaten on the inside edge. Ball ricochets off the pads and goes to extra cover, as the batters take a single.
