Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Haider Ali, 2 runs, Haider Ali backed away to slash it wide of the man at point. The man at sweeper cover fumbled, then I guess tried to mock a throw but when he did throw it, was too late. Haider Ali plonked his bat in but he had made it. The third umpire had a few looks as he wanted to be absolutely sure. The batter I guess was consumed by nerves as he was almost caught off guard and a slightly better effort would have had him despite him almost reaching the crease in time. The keeper was livid. Entire Bangladesh camp has been left shell shocked. UAE have stunned Bangladesh. This is their maiden win against Bangladesh. They have tracked down 206! They were short in the last game but not to be today. Fortune smiled on them, the cricketing Gods just made this happen. A six off the outer-edge, four overthrows, a full toss, a no-ball and a botched run-out attempt. UAE, it was meant to happen
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Haider Ali, no ball, it is a no-ball for height. But is there a run-out at the bowler's end? That was a high full toss, Haider Ali wanted to slash it but failed to connect. Matiullah Khan wanted to sneak in a single but failed to and was sent back. The keeper under-armed the throw and the bowler got the direct hit in but the batter had dived back . Fate and dew have played a major role in today's game. The wet ball has been tough to control. This ball was changed after that huge six but Sakib still found it tough. The ball must have slipped out. The call at the toss from Waseem was to chase and all these events are vindicating the call. Massive moment in the game. UAE have been inexperienced but Bangladesh have been sloppy to say the least
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Matiullah Khan, 1 run, and pats it down with soft hands into the off-side to steal a single. 3 needed off 2. A very important single indeed. Khan did well not to do anything fancy. Ali on strike now. This is so close. Advice from every quarter for the bowler. Change of field. Fine leg comes in. For a change, a UAE batter tried using his brains more than the brawn. Up to Ali now to take the hosts home
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Dhruv Parashar, out Bowled!! This game is not for the faint hearted. The new dry ball, Tanzim Hasan Sakib decides to try the back of the hand slower ball and nails it. Tanzim Hasan Sakib went for a slog across the line and missed the line of the delivery to be clean bowled. 8th one down and more drama in this game. 4 needed off 3 now. Such terrific execution under pressure. Not an easy ball to bowl under pressure but Dhruv could have done better. He went for the glory shot and missed. But credit to the bowler. He nailed the slower ball, the right length as well. And the line. Was at the sticks and Bangladesh have a little window now. Dhruv could have done a sensible thing of taking a single but he went for the swipe and the gamble from the bowler has paid off. Dhruv Parashar b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 11(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

Shanto in the ears of the bowler, so is the skipper. Fist pumps in the UAE camp were seen. Bangladesh, Oh Bangladesh. They have been very sloppy in the last few balls. 4 needed off 4. Sakib carrying the weight of pressure. But his shoulders seem a little brittle
