With the revised target, Zimbabwe needed a positive start but lost wickets early in the Powerplay. Williams and Moor, however, took the situation in their stride and stitched a fine partnership consisting of 79 runs, before the latter departed. Williams carried on along with Raza and it looked like they would win it. But some excellent bowling from the skipper Mustafa and Naveed in the death saw that the key men for the Chevrons fell at the wrong time and the game got away from them. You could say Williams' wicket was the turning point of the game, maybe even Raza's. UAE held their nerve and got the job done.

A rain-hit affair which was threatened to not even finish. But on this day, some heroes rose up for UAE. After losing a wicket early on, Mustafa and Shabber added 74 to steady things, before Anwar and Shahzad threaded the same amount between them not long after. But, the late impetus from Naveed really did the trick. As the rain came later and it helped their DLS score.

Went right down to the wire. Just 3 runs short, agonizingly close. The crowd in the stadium didn't just come to fill up the numbers. They were buzzing all day, even through the rain, kept on singing and dancing and pushed their team forward. They really wanted their team to win and qualify for the big stage. But it wasn't meant to be. Sometimes in life, it just isn't.

Mohammad Naveed to Kyle Jarvis. Full and outside off, Jarvis can only fetch a single with a smack to long off. Ervine needs a biggie to finish. Dinesh Karthik finished a game off the last ball against Bangladesh in the Nidahas Trophy final. Can Ervine replicate that?
