    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mirpur (Bangladesh), March 3 (Cricketnmore):<\/strong> India made a mockery of the United Arab Emirates&#39; paltry total of 81\/9 as they got home with nine wickets and 9.5 overs to spare in an Asia Cup Twenty20 International cricket encounter at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rohit Sharma scored a quickfire, 28-ball 39, while Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan remained unconquered on 25 and 16 respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India remain unbeaten in the competition and will face Bangladesh in the final on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the beginning, Dhawan was struggling out there in the middle and was given a lifeline by the umpire for a caught-behind appeal but his partner at the other end had no such problems. Rohit started tonking from the word go crashing the ball to all parts of the ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong style=\"line-height: 20.8px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/full-scorecard\/1746\/9th-match-india-v-united-arab-emirates-2\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 128, 0);\">Scorecard: India vs UAE<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rohit smashed rival captain Amjad Javed for 16 in the fourth over and then followed it up with 11 runs of the next.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But then he top edged one to third man trying to cut Qadeer Ahmed. Out of Dhawan-Rohit&#39;s 43-run partnership, the latter contributed 39.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yuvraj came out like he was just out of a net-session timing the ball to perfection. He clobbered a few to the ropes including a big six over cover.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dhawan too got into the groove later and manage to take his team over the line in the 11th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, India put up a superb display with the ball to restrict the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to a paltry total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shaiman Anwar top-scored with a 48-ball 43 for the UAE while Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned figures of 2\/8 for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The UAE kept struggling from the start as Indian pacers Bhuvneshwar and Jasprit Bumrah kept bowling on a tight channel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After three overs, the UAE had only a run on the board and a little later they were reduced to 2\/2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thereafter, a few top edges and knicks went past the Indian slip fielders as the UAE managed to gather 21 runs in the powerplay with Rohan Mustafa and Anwar at the crease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Indian bowlers kept up the pressure and Mustafa (11) perished trying to smash Hardik Pandya. The left-hander only managed to find Virat Kohli at cover.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India tightened the leash further by chipping away two more wickets. Debutant left-arm spinner Pawan Negi picked up Muhammad Usman (9) while off-spinner Harbhajan Singh sent back rival captain Amjad Javed (0).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More wickets followed as the UAE failed to get a grip on the game. Anwar who had been silently watching his partners throw away their wickets had a go in the last few overs smashing a few to the ropes. These in turn helped his side get past 80.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Agency.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
