United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan, 3rd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all from this one. Afghanistan open their account in the table while the UAE now have two losses in two. Tomorrow we'll have Pakistan taking on Afghanistan. Until then, it's goodbye.

Rashid Khan | Afghanistan captain: For me it's always very hard. Have to keep two main spinners. We have Noor and Ghazanfar, magicians on the bench. Sharaf was a tough decision today to take him over Noor. The batting ability he has, we wanted to have him in the lower order. To keep things simple is important for me. Length remains very important. On a wicket like this, and dew came as well, it was hard to grip the ball. Maturity was shown by the batters. That's the area we have struggled in the past and we're working hard. A win gives you that positive energy. That game was a wake-up call for us (loss to Pakistan). Need to bring our best game.

Muhammad Waseem | UAE captain: We did not bowl well in last 10 overs. Gave away so many runs. Were going well with the bat, lost the game in the 10th-11th overs where we lost two wickets. Not happy with my knock to be honest, wasn't able to finish the game. Will learn from our mistakes. Want to learn from our fast bowling. Always we are giving runs in the last 10 overs.

Sharafuddin Ashraf | POTM: Thanks to all the people who came to support us in difficult times. We have good spinners, all magicians. Whatever is needed for the team, we do that. Depends on the situation. I try always to read the conditions and the batters. Have a lot of experience bowling in the powerplay. If you look at the spin bowling, Nabi is still bowling and changing his pace well. In T20s you have to believe in your ability to the beat the batters. Self belief is most important. Have won POTM on my debut as well (first POTM for Afghanistan?). Thanks to Rashid Khan who supported me during a difficult time. He trusted my ability. Has taken a lot of hard work over the years.

22:35 Local Time, 18:35 GMT, 00:05 IST: UAE fell apart quickly after Muhammad Waseem's dismissal and couldn't get close to the target of 189. He had given them a rollicking start, smashing 67 off just 37 balls. But from 90/2, they collapsed to 120/8 as Rashid Khan and Sharafuddin Ashraf picked up three wickets each. The pitch wasn't straightforward for batting so 189 was always going to be a big challenge. And Afghanistan's bowlers, particularly their spinners, didn't allow the game to get out of their grip. Stay tuned for the presentations.
