Jaskarandeep Singh to Aryansh Sharma
SIX! Take a bow, Aryansh Sharma. He's fought hard all the way, right from the start and he has now taken his team to the brink of victory. Short of a length, over middle and leg, Sharma leans across to get inside the line and whacks the pull over deep square leg for a biggie. Just 2 needed now off 5 balls.

Jaskarandeep Singh to Sohaib Khan
OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, no! What have you done, Sohaib Khan? With just one needed for the win, Khan tries to finish things off in style and holes out. Banged in on a hard length and angled across off, Khan looks to pull the ball when the length is not quite there and is early into the shot as well. He miscues it over mid on where Nicholas Kirton backtracks and pouches it safely. 1 needed off 3 balls.

Jaskarandeep Singh to Muhammad Arfan
UAE WIN BY 5 WICKETS! It is short and around off, and Arfan hangs back before smashing it over mid-wicket. The ball races away and the UAE players are already charging onto the field before it reaches the fence. In fact, it's a single as the batters complete the required run before that. The celebrations erupt, a fine turnaround sealed in style. Smiles all around in the UAE camp, while Canada are left stunned, wondering how this one slipped through their fingers.

Kaleem Sana to Aryansh Sharma

Kaleem Sana to Aryansh Sharma
FOUR! Blazed away in a flash. It is too full and outside off, and Aryansha pounces, hammering it between mid off and extra cover. The ball races away as if chased by a train. 20 needed off 10 now, and the pressure shifts ever so slightly.

Kaleem Sana to Aryansh Sharma
FOUR! Aryansh Sharma gets a bit lucky here! Kaleem Sana bends his back and offers a bouncer, outside off. Aryansh Sharma swings his blade to pull it away, but gets the top edge. The ball flies over the right of the keeper and bounces away to deep third for four runs. 16 needed off 9.

Kaleem Sana to Sohaib Khan
FOUR! Unlucky again for the bowler but not good enough bowling given the field setting. Short ball around off, around head height. Sohaib Khan goes hard at the pull and gets a top edge that flies over the keeper's head and rolls away into the fence behind. Just 10 needed off 7 and UAE seem to have turned it around.

Kaleem Sana to Sohaib Khan
FIFTY FOR SOHAIB KHAN! Everyone in the UAE dugout is on their feet to applaud this masterclass. This is much fuller, on middle. Sohaib Khan drives it downtown. The long-on fielder moves to his left and the batter gets a brace. He lifts his willow and soaks in the cheers. It really has been a game-changing knock from Khan. It is a fifty off just 28 balls, the fastest by an Associate player in this edition of the T20 World Cup, informs the on-air commentator. A knock full of intent, timing and fearless strokeplay. 8 needed off 6 balls.

Jaskarandeep Singh to Sohaib Khan
FOUR! That is timed to perfection. A good length ball outside off, and Sohaib Khan opens his stance, leans into it, and drills it past long off with the confidence of a man who knows exactly where the gaps are. The 50-run stand is also up between these two.

The fielder springs up, arm outstretched, but the ball sails a whisper beyond his fingertips and into the stands. 10 off the first two balls, 29 needed off 16 balls.

However, Khan does exceptionally well to get the brace. Just after reaching the non-striker's end, he slips, but instantly gets back and dives to reach home safely.

It is a near yorker, speared wide outside off. Sohaib lunges and stretches to drive but gets it off the toe end, trickling back to the bowler. Jaskarandeep gathers and has a shy at the striker's end, rattling the stumps, but Sohaib has his back leg planted safely inside the crease.

Half a shout for LBW, but that's pitching outside leg stump. Good length around leg, Waseem comes forward to flick but misses. The ball goes off the pads and behind point for a leg bye.

Kaleem Sana to Aryansh Sharma
Short of a length and at the batter, Sharma hops up, nudges it down to mid-wicket, and runs a quick single.

Kaleem Sana to Muhammad Waseem
OUT! CAUGHT! Wow, Yuvraj Samra leaves that one so late, but kudos to Navneet Dhaliwal, who keeps his cool. Kaleem Sana bowls it on a good length on middle and leg, cramping the batter for room. Muhammad Waseem steps out to go big but ends up skying the ball between square leg and mid-wicket. Two fielders settle under it and for a long while, it looks like Yuvraj is going to pouch it but he just pulls out at the last moment and Dhaliwal from short mid-wicket pouches it well. The UAE skipper has to depart early here.

Kaleem Sana to Alishan Sharafu
Good-length delivery, on leg, and shapes back in sharply. Alishan Sharafu leans on to block but gets pinged high on the pads. A fruitful over for Kaleem Sana and Canada.

FOUR! The first boundary of the chase and it comes off the bat of Aryansh Sharma. Just marginally short and outside off, Sharma stands tall and punches it sweetly through covers for a boundary.

Dilon Heyliger to Aryansh Sharma
Much better from Heyliger. Short of a good length and in the channel, seams away after angling in. Sharma gets a bit squared up as the ball beats the outside edge. UAE need 141 runs to win now off 108 balls.

Will it be spin from the other end? No, it's right-hand medium pacer, Dilon Heyliger!

DRINKS BREAK! United Arab Emirates have managed to wrestle back momentum thanks to that 17-run previous over. Canada had done well until that point to really bog down the opposition batters, but now we are back on level terms, it seems. UAE have lost their talismanic skipper, which means one out of Alishan Sharafu or Aryansh Sharma has to play a big knock here. Canada will be thinking wickets as one good partnership could take the game away from them. 112 needed now off 84 balls. With that said, Saad Bin Zafar comes into the attack now.
0
The next batter is in. It is Mayank Kumar at number 4 for UAE. Also, Ansh Patel comes into the attack, replacing Jaskarandeep Singh, so spin from both ends.

10 overs done in the chase. 92 needed now off 60 balls for UAE.

Canada are all pumped up as they have got their fourth wicket. UAE need someone from their batting unit to stay put with Aryansh Sharma. Sohaib Khan is the new man in.

DRINKS BREAK! United Arab Emirates are under pressure. They have 69 more runs to chase in 36 deliveries with six wickets left in hand. Aryansh Sharma is timing his shots really well, but the only problem is that no batter has been able to provide firm support to him. Canada will be looking to keep the pressure on the opposition as the required run rate is around 11. Which also means the UAE batters will have to deal with plenty of boundaries to stay in the hunt. Dilon Heyliger is back into the attack now.
0
UAE need 39 off 18 balls. Dilpreet Bajwa will be looking at his remaining bowling options as the lights take full effect in Delhi. For now, Jaskarandeep Singh will continue.

A slight halt in play. There seems to be an issue with one of the bails as it isn't lightning up and the umpires are gettinng it fixed.

UAE need 26 off 12 balls and Kaleem Sana is back on to bowl his final over. A wicket and 11 runs off his 3 overs thus far.

Final over is coming up. Just 8 needed off 6 balls, and Jaskarandeep Singh has the ball in hand. Can he pull off something miraculous?

The next batter is in. It is Muhammad Arfan.

Two down, one more to go - Well, we have witnessed a couple of intriguing games on Friday, the 13th, but the action isn't over yet. After David vs Goliath early on, and a battle of the equals after that, it is now time to head into a game where one team is looking for its second win, and the other is looking to get off the mark in this edition of the tournament. USA are taking on Netherlands down south in Chennai, and the USA have already started their batting innings. You can simply switch tabs and tune in to our coverage of that clash, which should be a very close one if both teams play to their potential. Cheers!

Prodigious movement again but the keeper is standing miles back, the ball doesn't carry anywhere near him. Full and on off, swinging away, keeps a shade low as Waseem plays and misses again.

Nicely bowled and this one just about carries to the keeper. The in-between length, in the channel, Sharma has a feel for it but gets beaten past the outside edge. UAE are 4/0 after one.
