- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 short ball outside the off stump, looked like a harmless delivery. Malla stands tall and tires to hit it past the fielder at short midwicket but fails to get enough bat on it and Ashfaq there reacts quickly and takes it at full stretch to his top left. 38/28.5 quicker delivery on the stumps, Nath swing wild as he goes down on on keen... missed it completely and the ball crashes into the stumps 38/127.2 Imran strikes! quicker delivery and on the stumps, Airee is beaten trying to defend it and that's the end of a good partnership. 111/338 one could see this coming! Vesawkar was struggling to get the ball away for runs and the pressure was showing... this one is pitched up outside the off stump and he tires to hit it over the fielder at mid-off but ends up looping it straight to the fielder there. Amir Hayat with the breakthrough for UAE. 174/440.4 did I say sensible cricket! lots one straight down the throat of deep midwicket. Should have left the hitting to his captain and just looked to rotate the strike 186/545.1 slower delivery outside the off stump, Paudel drags it from outside off and hits it in the air on the leg side. Fielder at midwicket paddles back and takes a good high catch. 228/645.5 full and on the stumps, Karan swings but makes no contact and the stumps are in disarray... well bowled Hayat. No fairytale ending for Karan today but Nepal is still in the game with Paras out there. 234/746.4 what a catch! lofted away too deep midwicket as Kami tries to move things along... not hit well and the ball goes high and not far enough..Rameez Shahzad running in from deep midwicket put in a good forward dive and takes it inches away from the ground. 241/8Extras13 (b 3, lb 3, w 7)TOTAL270/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.4)Did not bat: S LamichhaneFall of wickets: 1-38 (Dilip Nath, 8.5 ov), 2-38 (Gyanendra Malla, 9.1 ov), 3-111 (Dipendra Singh Airee, 27.2 ov), 4-174 (Sharad Vesawkar, 37.6 ov), 5-186 (Aarif Sheikh, 40.4 ov), 6-228 (Rohit Paudel, 45.1 ov), 7-234 (Karan KC, 45.5 ov), 8-241 (Sompal Kami, 46.4 ov)
