Commentary

Thanks for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick, Bidipto Datta and Rajarshi Das- for the live coverage of this game between Papua New Guinea and United Arab Emirates! We hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, goodbye!

Muhammad Waseem has been adjudged the Man of the Match! Here is what he has to say.

Muhammad Waseem (United Arab Emirates captain): I was looking forward to this opportunity and thankfully, was able to pick up my first ODI hundred! My idea is to always play well for the team and contribute to team wins. It will be a good day tomorrow but we will give it our best to pick up another victory.

Assad Vala (Papua New Guinea captain): It has been a disappointing campaign to say the least. But I think we have done well in the last month or so. We are improving with every game. We are batting well and things can only get better from here on. So we need to stay hopeful about the consistency. John Kariko bowled well and looks a tremendous prospect going forward for our team.

It is time for the post-match presentation!

United Arab Emirates beat Papua New Guinea by 6 wickets!

Muhammad Waseem 119 (76) | Hazrat Bilal 4/47
Assad Vala 65 (92) | Riley Hekure 2/24

Eventually, this turned out to be a rather one-sided affair. Muhammad Waseem, the captain of the United Arab Emirates, struck a timely century and won the game almost single-handedly for them.

Although he departed soon after he got to the three-figure mark, it was Aayan Afzal Khan who struck a few timely blows to almost take them home. He too perished right before the game ended, but he was instrumental in this game.

He bowled well earlier in the day and whipped some huge hits out of the park when he came out to bat. However, it was Waseem's performance that will draw the most plaudits.

This was his first in One Day Internationals, and one that he is going to remember for a very long time. For Papua New Guinea, none of their bowlers did well and that was the reason why United Arab Emirates were able to wrap this game up quickly.

The latter will be extremely confident with this result while Papua New Guinea will not be displeased having at least put up more than 200 runs on the board. That is a big win for them.

38.4 Chad Soper to Asif Khan, FOUR RUNS! UAE WIN AT A CANTER! Short on off-stump. Hit away from the crease through mid-wicket for an easy boundary to finish the match in style! A victory by 6 wickets comprehensively!

38.3 Chad Soper to Asif Khan, SIX RUNS! Good length all on off-stump. Asif heaves this from the crease and gets it over long-on from the middle of the bat!

38.2 Chad Soper to CP Rizwan, short on off-stump. Tapped down to point with soft hands off the back foot for a quick single!

38.1 Chad Soper to CP Rizwan, fuller on middle. Driven to the left of short mid-on off the front foot, no run.

Khan perished right before the game ended. He will not be around anymore to strike the winning blows to Papua New Guinea.

37.6 John Kariko to CP Rizwan, full and flighted on the pads. Driven down to long-on from the front foot for a single to keep strike.

37.5 John Kariko to Asif Khan, short outside off-stump. Punched down to deep cover from the back foot for a single with the spin.

Asif Khan, RHB, is the new batter.

37.4 John Kariko to Aayan Khan, GONE! Full and slow outside off. Aayan goes for a big booming drive on the front foot to short extra cover. It goes to his right on the full but the fielder moves sharply to take a really good catch and give the young left-arm spinner his first ODI wicket!

37.3 John Kariko to CP Rizwan, short and slow outside off. Punched down to deep cover point from the back foot for a single.

37.1 John Kariko to Aayan Khan, good length ball on off. Defended down to short cover from the crease, no run.

UAE are almost there- they need just fourteen runs to win this game! PNG can do little else than watch it sail away from them.
