Khan’s late fireworks power UAE to thrilling victory over Canada

After electing to bat, Canada recovered from a poor start through Harsh Thaker’s fifty and Navneet Dhaliwal’s thirty-four, eventually posting a competitive 150 for seven despite regular dismissals. Shreyas Movva added vital late runs to boost the final score.

In reply, the UAE struggled initially, collapsing to a precarious 66 for four. However, opener Aryansh Sharma remained resolute, anchoring the innings with a determined half-century while teammates fell. The momentum shifted decisively when Sohaib Khan arrived at the crease. Khan delivered a blistering performance, smashing 51 off 29 balls. Together, they constructed a decisive 84-run partnership that salvaged the innings. Their heroics allowed the UAE to successfully overhaul the target, sealing a truly memorable win in the final over with just two balls remaining.
