Opener Aryansh Sharma and lower-order batter Sohaib Khan struck fifies under pressure as UAE pulled off a thrilling five-wicket win over Canada in their Group D T20 World Cup clash, here on Friday.
Sharma slammed six fours and three sixes in his 53-ball 74 not out, while No 6 batter Khan held his nerves in a quickfire 29-ball 51 (4×4, 4×6) to script a memorable win with two balls to spare.
Earlier pacer Junaid Siddique grabbed a maiden five-wicket (5/35) as UAE pulled things back in the back end.
Harsh Thaker (50 off 41 balls; 2×4, 3×6) and Navneet Dhaliwal (34 off 28; 4×4) revived their innings with a 58-run fourth-wicket to help Canada post 150/7 after opting to bat.
In reply, Bin Zafar gave regular breakthroughs in the middle overs with splendid figures of 3/14 but Sharma and Khan anchored the chase.
Brief Scores: Canada 150/7 in 20 overs (Harsh Thaker 50, Navneet Dhaliwal 34; Junaid Siddique 5/35) lost to UAE 150/5 in 19.4 overs (Aryansh Sharma 74 not out, Sohaib Khan 51 not out; Saad Bin Zafar 3/14) by five wickets.
