T20 WC: Fifties By Aryansh, Sohaib Power UAE To Thrilling Five-wicket Win Over Canada
T20 World Cup: Aryansh Sharma struck an unbeaten 74 off 53 balls while Sohaib Khan smashed 51 off 29 as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) chased down 151 to beat Canada by five wickets in their Group D clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday.
UAE slipped to 66/4 in the chase of 151, but Sharma held firm at one end even as Canada’s spinners tightened their grip through the middle overs. With the required rate climbing, Sohaib’s arrival changed the momentum. He launched four sixes and four boundaries in a blistering counterattack, while adding 84 runs with Aryansh off just 42 balls.
Sharma anchored the chase with measured strokeplay, finishing unbeaten from 53 deliveries, hitting six fours and three sixes. But Sohaib’s aggression rattled Canada’s bowlers in the closing overs and turned the game around for the UAE.
