So that bring us to the end of this match. It was a brilliant show by Abu Dhabi. Stay tuned with Sportskeeda, for more live action from the world of cricket. This is Probuddha Bhattacharjee, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Bidipto from this game.
Muhammad Nadeem has been declared the Player of the Match! Here is what he has to say.
Nadeem: I was out of form for quite some time, so, I am glad that this one came in a winning cause! The tournament is progressing nicely, there is a lot of pressure and winning at this stage of the competition is really important for us.
Time for the post-match presentation!

It was always a steep task for team Dubai. They came in with an asking rate of 11.70 lurking over their shoulders.
The scoreboard pressure got into the heads of the openers and they succumbed under pressure. Within the third over, they were two down for 18 runs and the required rate was already slipping out of the hand.
By the end of the fifth over they had just 33 runs on the board for the loss of three wickets. The last hope for Dubai was the pair of Ahmed Tariq and Taimoor Ali. Although the duo batted till the end, they could not break the shackles put in place by Abu Dhabi’s disciplined bowling. In the end, Dubai scored 97 in their 10 overs and lost the match by 19 runs.

9.6 Zeeshan Ali Jr to Taimoor Ali-I, VICTORY FOR ABU DHABI! Full and slow on leg-stump. Hoicked away from deep in the crease by clearing the front leg towards deep mid-wicket for a couple to finish the match.
9.6 Zeeshan Ali Jr to Taimoor Ali-I, WIDE down the leg-side on this occasion! Taimoor got inside the line to help it away but missed out!
9.5 Zeeshan Ali Jr to Taimoor Ali-I, yorker, following the batter outside leg-stump. Dug out, back to the bowler from the block hole for no run!
9.4 Zeeshan Ali Jr to Taimoor Ali-I, Oh! Good length ball on middle-stump that skids through. The big heave-ho across the line on the back foot gets missed! No leg-bye either.
9.3 Zeeshan Ali Jr to Taimoor Ali-I, SIX MORE! Full toss on middle-stump. Taimoor stays deep in the crease and pulls it hard over deep square-leg for a maximum!
