That would be all from our side! For now, it's Arjun Bhalla signing off on behalf of my co-commentator, Pritam Dey, besides our scorer/analyst Manish Bishnoi. See you soon!
Saiteja Mukkamalla (Player of the Match): "The batting was great in the powerplay. We wanted to take advantage of that. I have been batting well and wanted to continue with that approach."
Jasdeep Singh (USA Captain): "Yeah it was a great game for us. The batters batted really good but we wanted to go past 200 but in the back end the UAE bowlers fought back really well.
Our bowlers did really well with the ball and we eventually got over the line. Obviously its important to soak the pressure and deliver at the middle."

Muhammad Waseem (Losing Captain): Our bowlers bowled well on this surface, and the score of 176 runs was chasable. We need to look at the mistakes we made throughout the mistakes and rework the plans. Our batting did well yesterday; today was a bad day."
9:10 PM IST & 5:40 PM Local Time| That's the end of this fixture as it went right down to the final over and eventually its USA who have defeated UAE by 15 runs.
Earlier in the day, Jasdeep Singh won the toss and opted to bowl first. USA openers got off to a watchful start but eventually cashed in on the field restrictions in the final two overs of the powerplay. It was a really strong start by the Jasdeep Singh-led side.
Saiteja Reddy Mukkamalla (85 off 54) was the top performer in the Innings smashing 7 Fours and 4 Sixes. Some small contributions by Andries Gous (17) and Shayan Jahangir (19) helped them to get themselves into a competitive total on the board.
USA were on top in the first half of the Innings but the UAE bowlers fought back really well restricting their opponents to a score under 190. From 151/4 in 15.1 overs, USA were restricted to 175/9 at the end of 20 overs. Ali Naseer (4/26) was the pick of the bowlers for UAE.
In reply, UAE crumbled inside the powerplay as they lost 2 wickets in which it was the big one of their skipper. The asking rate was climbing up and the spinners of USA bowled brilliantly in the middle overs.
UAE continued to lose wickets at regular intervals and were down to 111/7 at one stage. It was the 8th wicket partnership between Hameed and Farooq which brought them back in the match. Basil Hameed's fighting knock of 44* went in vain as UAE felt short of the target by 15 runs.

19.5 A Paradkar to M Farooq
W Farooq fires it in the air and hands an easy catch to deep mid-wicket. Takes on the shorter ball and goes to pull it into the stands but there's no timing at it as the ball travels straight into the hands of the fielder at cow corner.
It was a FULL TOSS which Hameed fails to put it away. Two Legal deliveries are now required for USA to get the job done.
19.4 A Paradkar to B Hameed
1 Full toss ball around off, Hameed waits for it on the front foot and hammers it in the air. But no timing at it as the ball flies towards the vacant mid-on area for just a single.
18 needed off 3 balls now! Hameed on strike. 3 SIXES ANYONE??
19.3 A Paradkar to B Hameed
2 Full ball outside off, Hameed lifts it over point for a brace.
Outstanding stuff from Paradkar! 20 needed from 4 balls now.
19.2 A Paradkar to B Hameed
0 Too full, yorker ball on the off, Hameed digs it back to the bowler.
19.1 A Paradkar to B Hameed
2 Length outside off, Hameed lifts it over covers for a couple!
