India Defeats UAE in ACC Emerging Team Asia Cup Match

India has won the second game in the tournament. The toss was in favor of the UAE. Then decided to bat first. It has to be said that this decision came under the thumb of the UAE. Because they could not play full 20 overs even after batting first. It would not be wrong to say that the UAE batsmen threw a stinger in front of the Indian bowlers. Apart from Rahul Chopra, none of the batsmen from UAE could perform well. He scored 50 runs in 50 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 2 fours.

On the strength of his half-century, the UAE team almost crossed the 100-run mark. UAE scored 107 runs in 16.5 overs and set India a challenge of 108 runs for victory. India completed this challenge by losing 3 wickets. It was special that India used a total of 8 bowlers against UAE. Only Rahul Chahar completed his 4 overs but failed to take a single wicket.
