Junaid Siddique bowled beautifully for UAE and registered figures of 4/14 in his four overs. Aayan Khan and Basil Hameed also chipped in with a couple of scalps each.
In reply, UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem led from the front. He scored an unbeaten 68 off 43 balls at the top of the order which helped his side chase down the total in 17.4 overs with eight wickets in hand.
