T20 WC: Siddique Picks 5-35 As UAE Keep Canada To 150/7 Despite Thaker’s Fifty
T20 World Cup: Pacer Junaid Siddique picked an excellent 5-35 as United Arab Emirates (UAE) kept Canada to 150/7 in their Group D clash in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday, despite a fighting half-century from batting all-rounder Harsh Thaker.
Opting to bat first on a used pitch, Canada lost both openers inside the first four overs and slipped to 39-3 at the end of the powerplay. Thaker hit two fours and three sixes in a 41-ball fifty, while combining with Navneet Dhaliwal in a 58-run stand for the fourth wicket.
But Dhaliwal’s run out for 34 in the 13th over proved to be a turning point, and despite Thaker getting his fifty, Canada struggled to find boundaries as UAE’s bowlers tightened their lines, as 23 runs came off the last three overs.
