Afghanistan and United Arab Emirates played a very competitive match today. Although this match was only a participation match, the United Arab Emirates team performed quite well and moved towards victory. I blame fate for not winning this match, as United Arab Emirates lost their wicket on the last ball. Where four runs were needed in three balls, the attacking batsmen of the United Arab Emirates team failed. The performance of the United team was much better than that of the Afghanistan team, although they lost, the players of the United Arab Emirates team worked hard in this match.

UAE were so close to win. It's not the fate but UAE had some very slow over while they scored more in good overs. If they were able to take more singles instead of dot on those overs, they would have won. Like the 15th over where they only made 2 runs. They lost a wicket there but losing a wicket is not a reason to score so low in late game specially in T20. Afghanistan is overall better team than UAE and they had overall better bowling as UAE gave 5 more runs on extras than Afghanistan which in the end became the score that Afgnaistan won with.

Yes, United Arab Emirates did well towards the end, but due to their poor performance in the beginning, they came at the last minute and lost the match by such a small number of runs. I think if they had got just one more ball, they could have easily hit a 4 and won the match. Their final loss of just 4 runs is very sad for them. Although they have already lost the series, but if they had won this match, their series would not have ended without a win, but right now they have ended the series without a win. Anyway, best of luck to Pakistan and Afghanistan for the final match of the series.
