UAE clinch Bangladesh T20I series surprise

Captain Muhammad Waseem and key player Alishan Sharafu have hailed the spirit of the UAE dressing room after a come-from-behind T20I series win against Bangladesh here.

- 

The Emiratis completed the comeback on Wednesday night, chasing down Bangladesh's 162 in the final over of the match, powered by an unbeaten 87-run stand from just 51 balls between Sharafu and Asif Khan.

Sharafu (68 not out from 47 balls) and Asif (41 not out from 26) were methodical even as the required rate climbed over 10, wearing several blows from Bangladesh's pace attack and mixing singles in with boundaries at the backend.

The pair combined with three sixes in the 16th over to put the hosts in the driver's seat, with Sharafu eventually capping off a Player of the Match performance with a boundary.

When asked about his plan of attack, Sharafu stuck to one or two technical and tactical points, an ICC report said.
