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.

You are right dear UAE team played really well and deserves praise for not giving up. It must have been very frustrating for them to lose on last ball when they were so close to winning. You are right to say that even though they lost their performance was impressive. It proves they are skilled and strong team. They may not have won game but their effort and determination won them respect of fans.

Despite losing the match, UAE got love from the fans. It is not easy to come this far against a team like Afghanistan. It is not difficult to predict that UAE has improved in cricket to some extent. However, if Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan had been in Afghanistan's playing squad in this match and UAE could have come this far, then the support for the country would have increased even more. Afghanistan did not play at full strength in the match but UAE did not perform badly in any part. I believe that UAE can compete better in cricket in the future.
