IND A Win By 7 Wickets | India A vs UAE Highlights of ACC Men's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024: Abhishek Sharma, Rasikh Salam Help India A Secure Clinical Victory

That's It! Another victory for the India A and they have now almost secured the ticket to the semifinal. A crushing win over UAE thanks to the bowling performance of Rasikh Salam and Ramandeep Singh first and then Abhishek Sharma's quickfire fifty completely decimated UAE. India A also got a massive net run rate boost by winning in the 11th over. 

Out! Finally Abhishek Sharma departs after a terrific knock. His half-century that came in no time not only broke the back of the chase but also will help India boost their net run rate. Abhishek Sharma c Nilansh Keswani b Muhammad Farooq 58(24).

OUT! Tilak Varma has been dismissed by Vishnu Sukumaran with the left-hander being outdone by the spin. A good ball and the India A captain departs after playing a quickfire knock. Tilak Varma b Vishnu Sukumaran 21(18) 

FIFTY for Abhishek Sharma, off just 20 balls! The left-hander has been in spectacular form and he has put his side in a good position to chase this down within 10 overs. He played some fascinating shots and is showing no signs of stopping down! 

India A continue their spectacular start to the run chase, scoring 74 runs in the first six overs while chasing down 108 runs. This contest is getting as one-sided as it gets and both Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma have played some fascinating shots! Abhishek Sharma has been in the wrecker-in-chief, scoring 46 runs off 16 balls! 

India A, on expected lines, have made a rollicking start with Tilak Varma and Abhishek Sharma scoring runs at a very quick pace. They will look to chase this score as quickly as possible in a bid to boost the Net Run Rate (NRR). 

OUT! What a cracking delivery from Omid Rahman which castled Prabhsimran Singh! The right-hander did not have a clue about which way the ball went as it missed the ball and crashed into the stumps. UAE are elated! Prabhsimran Singh b Omid Rahman 8(6) 

Rahul Chopra has been dismissed and UAE have been bowled out for just 107 runs in 16.5 overs. It has been a very disciplined bowling effort, led by Rasikh Salam, who took three wickets in one over while Ramandeep Singh got two. Abhishek Sharma, Anshul Kamboj and Vaibhav Arora took one each. For UAE, Rahul Chopra scored 50 runs off as many balls. Onto the batters now as India A chase a second consecutive victory! 

FIFTY for Rahul Chopra! The right-hander has played a good knock here and scored half the runs for his side. Can he steer UAE to a respectable total? 

OUT! What a catch this is by Ayush Badoni! Muhammad Jawadullah struck the ball which seemed to be headed towards the boundary but Ayush Badoni dived to his right and plucked out the catch. Ramandeep Singh has a second wicket! Muhammad Jawadullah c Ayush Badoni b Ramandeep Singh 1(2)

OUT! Ramandeep Singh has struck and he has dismissed Muhammad Farooq. UAE are eight down now and are at a risk of not playing the whole 20 overs. Muhammad Farooq c Nehal Wadhera b Ramandeep Singh 7(9)

OUT! Ramandeep Singh has struck and he has dismissed Muhammad Farooq. UAE are eight down now and are at a risk of not playing the whole 20 overs. Muhammad Farooq c Nehal Wadhera b Ramandeep Singh 7(9)

OUT! The wickets keep falling for UAE with Tilak Varma pulling off a direct hit to run out Sanchit Sharma. UAE slide into further trouble. Sanchit Sharma run out Tilak Varma 0 (4) 

OUT! Abhishek Sharma has struck with his first ball and he has dismissed UAE captain Basil Hameed! The right-hander wanted to hit the ball on the leg-side by coming down the track but chipped the ball straight to Abhishek Sharma. A soft dismissal.  Basil Hameed c and b Abhishek Sharma 22(12) 

UAE has managed to bat at a good scoring rate, despite five wickets falling. Rahul Chahar has not been at his best and Rahul Chopra along with Basil Hameed have been hitting the ball cleanly and also rotating the strike. At the halfway mark, they are 81/5. 

OUT! Rasikh Salam is on fire, taking a third wicket in the over! What a delivery this as it swings and hits the middle-stump with bails flying in all directions. Syed Haider attempted a drive but was totally beaten. A sensational start for him. 

OUT! Rasikh Salam has two wickets in two balls and what a delivery it is! Vishnu Sukumaran edged the ball which was beautifully caught by Prabhsimran Singh. India A are on top here with UAE under a lot of pressure. Nilansh Keswani c Vaibhav Arora b Rasikh Salam 5(9) and  Vishnu Sukumaran c Prabhsimran b Rasikh Salam 0(1)

OUT! Rasikh Salam strikes with his very first ball and he could not have asked for a better start! India are on top here. Nilansh Keswani c Vaibhav Arora b Rasikh Salam 5(9)

The India A bowlers have kept the side on top. UAE got off to an explosive start in the first over but two wickets have significantly brought about a change in their approach. India will ideally want to restrict UAE to as low a score as possible inside the first six overs. 

OUT! UAE have lost both their openers with Vaibhav Arora dismissing Aryansh Sharma! The right-hander hit the ball straight to Nishant Sindhu in the deep and the latter completed a simple catch. Aryansh Sharma c Nishant Sindhu b Vaibhav Arora 1(5)
