Asif Khan gets the man of the match for his brilliant century!
Phew! What a game! You got to feel for Asif Khan who played one of the best T20 innings! Ajman Alubond was in the game till Asif Khan was in the crease but soon after his departure after scoring a 100, the pressure was back on Rameez Shahzad to finish off the innings. They needed 13 off the last over but the young Ali Naseer held his nerve to bowl a brilliant last over to win it for Dubai Pulse Secure!
Ajman Alubond are still searching for their second win of the tournament and will be heartbroken after today's defeat. We enjoyed bringing this coverage to you. That's it from us today, This is Nikhil Kulkarni along with my colleague Pratyush Rohra signing off! Take Care and Stay Safe!

19.6 Ali Naseer to Nasir Aziz, FOUR! That's all over for Ajman Alubond! A brilliant century from Asif Khan goes in vain! Full length ball outside off, tries to heave this one but gets an edge behind keeper for a boundary. They fall short by 4 runs and what a game this has been!
19.5 Ali Naseer to Nasir Aziz, DOT BALL! Full length ball outside off and Nasir tries to heave this one but fails to connect. 8 needed now off the last ball!
19.4 Ali Naseer to Ehtesham Siddiq, full toss on the stumps, smashes it straight down the ground but will get only a single. 8 needed off 2 balls!
19.3 Ali Naseer to Sultan Akhtar, OUT! Naseer bowls an lightning yorker on middle and leg, Sultan tries to dug it away but misses. There is a huge appeal from the bowler for a lbw and it looks plumb. A huge roar from the bowler.

Asif Khan will be really disappointed to not see this through. It was a really well paced century, at a strike rate of 150, but he has to watch the rest of this run chase from the stands. Will Rameez Shahzad and Sultan Akhtar see this through?
