💥 India Crush UAE After Waseem’s Lone Resistance
Alishan Sharafu hit early boundaries, including a six off Axar Patel. However, Bumrah’s yorker soon cut short his stay. Varun Chakaravarthy added another wicket, and although Muhammad Waseem counter-attacked with three fours against Bumrah, UAE still ended the powerplay at 41/2. In fact, that was as good as it got for them.
🎯 India Crush UAE with Kuldeep & Dube Magic
From a steady 41/2, UAE lost their way completely. Kuldeep Yadav bowled a magical over, taking three wickets and removing Waseem in the process. Meanwhile, Shivam Dube struck twice in quick succession and kept the pressure on. Therefore, the innings collapsed to 57 all out, which became UAE’s second-lowest total in Asia Cup history.
