Asia Cup: Fifties From Waseem And Sharafu Help UAE Post 172/5
Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium: Skipper Muhammad Waseem and Alishan Sharafu laid the foundation for UAE’s innings, guiding their side to 172/5 at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium against Oman in their Group A clash on Monday.
After being put in to bat, he pair stitched together a 50-run opening stand after Oman’s left-arm spinner began with a tight spell, conceding just 4 runs in his first 2 overs inside the powerplay. UAE then capitalised on the remaining 3 powerplay overs, scoring 26 runs as Sharafu and Waseem comfortably negotiated the initial pressure.
Sharafu assumed the role of aggressor, reaching his fifty off 37 balls, while Waseem played the anchor, pacing the innings around his partner. Sharafu was dismissed immediately after reaching his fifty, bowled by Jiten Ramanandi. At No. 3, Asif Khan failed to make an impact, chopping on against a Samay Shrivastava googly to be dismissed cheaply.
