Vriitya Aravind also made an important contribution of 33 in 29 balls. However, UAE innings slowed down in the death overs and hence they had to settle for a total of 173 for 5 in 20 overs.
During the chase, Ravija Sandaruwan and Meet Bhavsar started off well for Kuwait. Ravija Sandaruwan made 34 in just 25 balls. His opening partner Meet Bhavsar scored 27 in 21 balls. After the openers perished, the run rate slowed down a little and Kuwait lost too many wickets in the middle overs. However, a timely cameo of 25 in 14 balls by Edson Silva ensured that Kuwait were still very much in the game. The match went to the last over with Kuwait requiring 9 runs to win in 6 balls. Yasin Patel hit six off the first ball and sealed the script for Kuwait’s famous win over UAE. The Kuwait last pair chased the total down on the second last ball of the match with 1 wicket in hand.
