OUT! Run Out. Zia ur-Rahman Sharifi to Junaid Siddique. Reverse Swing-In half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Arman, by Gurbaz. That's the end of the innings. After losing two quick wickets, Alishan Sharafu and Sohaib Khan steadied the ship beautifully, stitching together a crucial partnership to rebuild the innings. Sohaib Khan led the charge with a composed 68, anchoring the effort under pressure. However, the Afghan bowlers kept a tight leash on proceedings, controlling the momentum and never allowing the UAE to fully break free. The standout performer was Azmatullah Omarzai, who was outstanding with the ball, claiming four vital wickets and turning the tide in his side's favour. Join us for the run chase shortly.
