Dubai, Aug 19 (Ians) Skipper Muhammad Waseem led from the front with a 29-ball 55 as UAE scripted a stunning win over New Zealand in the second T20I here on Saturday to level the three-match series.
After restricting the Black Caps to 142/8 with Aayan Afzal Khan claiming 3-20 and Muhammad Jawadullah taking 2-16, the hosts rode on a superb knock by their skipper to 144/5 in 15.4 overs to win by two wickets with 26bballs to spare.
Waseem started off in a cautious manner, getting to 16 off 13 balls before going berserk. The opener slammed four fours and three sixes and raced to his fifty off just 27 balls as UAE made a strong start in pursuit of 143.
UAE were 44/2 at the end of the powerplay thanks to Vriitya Aravind’s 21-ball 25, but Waseem was yet to take charge at that point of time.

Windhoek (Namibia), April 5 (Ians) Canada and UAE notching up impressive wins against Png and Jersey respectively on the final day of the Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off here on Wednesday.
Canada defeated Papua New Guinea (Png) by 90 runs while the United Arab Emirates beat Jersey by 66 runs.
Batting first, Canada got vital contributions from their top-order batters. Aaron Johnson stroked a 48-ball 53, while Pargat Singh continued his brilliant form in the tournament with a score of 66.
But the middle and the lower-middle order failed to contribute much, with the highest score being 28 by Saad Bin Zafar. This meant that Png were able to contain Canada to a relatively low total of 218/8 in their 50 overs. John Kariko was the pick of the bowlers for Png, registering figures of 4-45.
During the chase, Png never got going, with many of their batters failing to convert starts into big scores.

Abu Dhabi Feb 4 (Ians) Breezy knocks by consistent opener Muhammad Waseem and skipper Kieron Pollard backed by Dwayne Bravo’s three-wicket spell carried Mi Emirates into the playoffs with an impressive 18-run win over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the 26th match of the Dp World ILT20 here.

Geelong (Victoria), Oct 20 (Ians) UAE survived a late scare from all-rounder David Wiese’s 55 to secure a narrow seven-run win over Namibia in their last Group A match in first round of the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup at Kardinia Park on Thursday.
Thursday’s win is also UAE’s first-ever win in their history of participating in T20 World Cups. After Muhammad Waseem slammed a 41-ball fifty while skipper Cp Rizwan hit an unbeaten 43 off 29 deliveries to help UAE make a competitive 148/3, Namibia were down and out at 67/7 in 13 overs.
That’s when Wiese stepped up to hit three fours and as many sixes in his 36-ball stay at the crease and shared a 70-run stand with Rubel Trumpelmann with the eighth wicket, a record partnership in T20 World Cup history, as dew started to settle in.

Geelong (Victoria), Oct 20 (Ians) Muhammad Waseem slammed a 41-ball fifty while skipper Cp Rizwan hit an unbeaten 43 off 29 deliveries to help UAE make a competitive 148/3 in their last Group A match in the first round of the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup against Namibia at Kardinia Park on Thursday.
Electing to bat first, the opening pair of Waseem and wicket-keeper Vriitya Aravind put on just 39 runs in the first eight overs. Aravind struggled to accelerate after the power-play ended and got dismissed for 21 off 32 balls off left-arm spinner Bernard Scholtz.
But as soon as Rizwan joined Waseem at the crease, the acceleration for UAE arrived. Waseem brought out the boundaries against Jan Frylinck and JJ Smit while Rizwan took fours off Frylinck and Ben Shikongo.
Two balls after reaching his fifty in the 15th over of the innings, Waseem gave a simple catch to the short third man off Shikongo.
