Pooran:
Last time we played here, we batted first as well. As a group we keep emphasizing on doing the basics right and focussing on the process. Same team for us.

Narine:
We gonna bowl first. It is a new pitch, hopefully pick up early wickets and restrict them to as low as possible. We did very well in the powerplay, want to improve a bit during the middle overs. We are playing the same team.

I see Coach Bravo doing a Coach $ammy on the sidelines. He's actively directing just about every move on the field.

Ibrar Ahmad to Muhammad Waseem, out Bowled!! A wild slog from Muhammad Waseem and he failed to pick the change of pace there. It was an off--cutter on a length, turns and grips to beat the batter on the inside edge. Timber.

Ali Khan to Pooran, FOUR, bowls a toe-curshing yorker around off stump, Pooran nearly slipped up on his feet trying to jam it down. It caught the toe-edge and flew past the fielder at short third to his left. The fielder in the deep dives to his right, but ball wins the race

Ali Khan to Pollard, out Bowled!! Knocks him over with a beauty. Delivers another inswinging yorker and uproots the leg peg. The big man had no clue about that, tried to flick it off his pads and ended up playing all around it.

Pollard b Ali Khan 5(10)

Ali Khan to Mousley, out Caught by Laurie Evans!! Ali Khan has his second and he is chuffed to bits. Bowls a slower full delivery outside off, Mousley forces the drive on the up but can't beat the infield. Evans dives full length to his left at mid-off and completes the catch with both hands.

18.6
Holder to Shepherd, FOUR, 19 off the over. That was short enough outside off and Shepherd rocked back to muscle the pull to the right of long-on

18.5
Holder to Shepherd, FOUR, too full and wide of off, Shepherd opens the bat face and slices the drive past the diving left hand of Willey at backward point

18.3
Holder to Pooran, out Caught by Alishan Sharafu!! Holder has the last laugh. Pooran misses out on a well-deserved fifty. Was a slower ball bumper outside off, Pooran backs away and plays a half-hearted pull. It chips off the toe of the bat and goes to the right of the fielder at mid-off. Easy catch for Sharafu.

Pooran c Alishan Sharafu b Holder 49(26) [4s-5 6s-2]

18.2
Holder to Pooran, FOUR, very full just outside off, Pooran stays deep inside the crease and biffs it past back the bowler with brute power

18.1
Holder to Pooran, SIX, slower length delivery and Pooran has picked the bones out of that one. Cleared his front leg and smashed it for a 90-metre maximum over mid-wicket


19.6
Ali Khan to Shepherd, SIX, six more! What an oustanding knock this from Romario Shepherd
19.5
Ali Khan to Shepherd, SIX, carted over deep square. Short at the hip, Shepherd swivels and smokes the pull all the way for an 87-metre maximum over square leg
19.4
Ali Khan to Shepherd, FOUR, it continues to rain boundaries in Abu Dhabi. Ali Khan bowls a juicy full delivery in the slot on off stump, Shepherd backs away and biffs it past Holder to his left at mid-off
19.3
Ali Khan to Shepherd, FOUR, makes room outside off and drills the full delivery with full face of the bat in the gap through covers. These are much-needed boundaries for the Emirates...
19.2
Ali Khan to Shepherd, SIX, juicy full toss on the pads, Shepherd clears his front leg and swats it away into the stands over mid-wicket
