- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Big appeal for LBW, and it's given! On a length outside off and it seams in sharply to beat the inside edge and crash into his pad. The change in bowling does the trick for UAE! 41/144.6 162 and out! In the slot, Stirling goes for the money shot. It's struck well but Meiyappan at deep midwicket runs around and dives to complete a tough catch on the boundary 282/338.1 Edged and gone! Balbirnie looked to make room and cut a short delivery but can only get a nick behind. This was short and wide an Balbirnie had to go for it, but misses out. Walks back after making his best score in the tournament 225/248.1 a third wicket for Sharma. Tector looks to clear deep midwicket but is mistimed. Meiyappan at deep midwicket gets under it. The back of the hand slower ball was too good for Tector 326/4Extras6 (lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL349/4 (50 Overs, RR: 6.98)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Andy McBrine, 8.3 ov), 2-225 (Andy Balbirnie, 38.1 ov), 3-282 (Paul Stirling, 44.6 ov), 4-326 (Harry Tector, 48.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Wait, has he got him run out? Length ball jags in and hits Waseem on the gloves and rolls towards point. Waseem, in pain, started to wander, but Ireland players thought the ball wasn't dead and Balbirnie had the presence of mind to throw the stumps down with Waseem well out of his crease! Waseem is getting treatment, but what was he doing walking out of the crease there? He immediately signalled for the physio and was just strolling there and didn't even see Balbirnie swooping in 58/112.2 Holes out to deep point! It's short and wide, inviting the cut and it goes straight to Delany, who makes no mistake. Adair's drop a few overs back doesn't cost Ireland much and UAE have lost both openers 77/213.5 Has he nicked off? Yes, says the umpire! Full outside off, drawing Aravind into the drive, and he gets a thin edge that Tucker gobbles up 79/315.2 Screamer at point! Little strikes twice in two overs as D'Souza reaches away from his body to cut this back-of-length delivery. It's low to Tector's left and he does well to get down and hold on to it 85/434.5 Miscues the skier! Dockerell gets his first wicket, gives it a lot of air and tempts him to go for the big sweep, he obliges and went hard at it, got the elevation but no the distance, Campher at deep backward square does well to track the ball from the bat, into the air and then in his hands. 179/720.1 And another one goes! And it's an unlucky dismissal for UAE! It's fired down leg, Naseer comes down the track and misses it and it bounces back off Tucker's pad onto the stumps 109/520.3 Chipped straight to midwicket and Harry Tector takes another good catch! Spins in from a length outside off and Aayan tries to flick it but it comes off the outer half. Tector takes a good catch diving forward. UAE crumbling here 109/637.1 Back of the hand well-disguised slow ball, lured him to throw his bat at it, he tries to muscle that over long-on, didn't get the requisite power behind the shot, clever change of pace has done the trick. Paul Stirling was swirling, back pedaling at long-on and hangs onto it brilliantly! Superb work in the field 191/838.6 Round the wicket, tossed up outside off, chips it over the covers, Dockrell gets his second as the fielder at sweeper takes a superb catch sprinting forward. Ireland register a massive 138-run win over UAE and that also brings an end to the group stage. 211/1037.5 That's a close call, but the umpire's finger goes up, maybe sliding down the leg side but there was a lot going well as it pitched in line, didn't go much off the seam and hits him plumb in front of leg stump as he was looking to defend at it. 197/9Extras14 (lb 1, w 13)TOTAL211 all out (39 Overs, RR: 5.41)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Muhammad Waseem, 7.2 ov), 2-77 (Aryansh Sharma, 12.2 ov), 3-79 (Vriitya Aravind, 13.5 ov), 4-85 (Ethan D'Souza, 15.2 ov), 5-109 (Ali Naseer, 20.1 ov), 6-109 (Aayan Afzal Khan, 20.3 ov), 7-179 (Basil Hameed, 34.5 ov), 8-191 (Sanchit Sharma, 37.1 ov), 9-197 (Junaid Siddique, 37.5 ov), 10-211 (Karthik Meiyappan, 38.6 ov)
